Pan African Broadband Plan

Subscribing to broadband Internet services is rising in Africa, but we can go further to connect more people to the web. We can create a Pan African Broadband Plan designed to allow investments in broadband technologies on the continent. A continuing massive investment in broadband infrastructure can result in the increasing availability, lower price, and improved connection of high-speed Internet services in Africa. We need policymakers and new regulations to allow more competition among African broadband providers. The goal is to cut the price and increase the speed of broadband access for the average African household. Broadband can also have a positive impact on the African economy and on employment. Broadband allow businesses to use e-commerce to order, market and distribute their products worldwide. Young African programmers can create new softwares and networks to enhance the online educational experience. To be successful the Pan African Broadband Plan should unite all the cyber resources of the continent with a minimum of governments interference.
