Browsing: INTERNET

Internet access in several parts of West Africa has been severely disrupted due to an unexpected breakdown of an undersea cable system, which significantly impacted 13 countries across the continent. This occurrence may potentially result in up to a three-week-long interruption of web services, causing significant inconvenience to both individual and business users. 

The growing influence of the internet as a tool for economic development cannot be underestimated, especially in light of its role in transforming Africa’s socio-economic landscape. The assertion hinges on several research studies, underscoring the undeniable significance of affordable and reliable internet access for businesses and households alike on the continent.
