Description

Charts ICT revolution that has swept across Africa since the end of the 1990s. Large-scale investment in the sector has transformed telecommunications from a luxury enjoyed by a privileged few to a mass-market service, used in villages and cities alike, across the continent. This reviews the rapid growth in networks and the emergence of the mobile phone as a part of everyday life in Africa.
