ICT4D and Global Connectivity
Abstract
Many countries in the global South are dramatically expanding their broadband infrastructure as part of national plans to use domestic and global connectivity to achieve accelerated social and economic development. This entry reviews recent developments in the expansion of undersea fiber networks connecting with African countries and considers some of the opportunities and constraints to achieving the potential benefits, focusing on both supply- and demand-side factors.
