The Infographic below shows the growth story so far of broadband connectivity in Africa. By 2021 there will be more than 200 million people connected to the Internet for the first time and will require an investment of 9 billion USD. With appropriate investment towards the growth in broadband connections across the continent, the number of connections are bound to increase with Internet becoming a necessity everywhere. Connecting the unconnected also requires rolling out innovative and alternative solutions (Wi-Fi, satellites, etc.), awareness programs of Internet benefits in the remote areas through African governments. This will create a huge difference and by 2030 the number of new Internet connections added on will be more than 1 billion and will require an investment of about 100 billion dollars across the continent.

Achieving this universal broadband is a big challenge where and to build a digital ecosystem, ISPs should offer flexible service plans or scalable solutions to fulfill the requirements of the subscribers with affordability for sustainable development.
