Despite the challenges, Africa is witnessing a surge in digital interest. However, with only 5% of the continent equipped for 4G and 5G, many are left behind.
Disruptions in undersea internet cables are symptomatic of Africa's reliance on external infrastructure, highlighting not just access problems but vulnerability to global infrastructure fragility.
The internet's critical role in modern society cannot be downplayed. Africa faces unique challenges, where underinvestment in infrastructure directly contributes to the continent's internet crisis.
Innovative solutions like decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) aim to provide a people-owned alternative to exploitative internet services, paving the way for localized growth.
