About this book

Bridging the Digital Divide: Developing Broadband Infrastructure in Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa faces a critical need for affordable broadband access to fuel economic growth. This study focuses on the development of backbone networks, the high-capacity infrastructure essential for delivering broadband services. It examines the challenges and opportunities in expanding these networks across the region.

This volume provides a framework for policymakers seeking to promote broadband development. It identifies key policy recommendations, including fostering competition, reducing construction costs, and encouraging public-private partnerships to extend network reach into underserved areas. By addressing regulatory barriers and promoting investment, Broadband for Africa offers a roadmap for accelerating the development of telecommunications infrastructure and unlocking the potential of ICT for economic and social progress.
