ITU launches Africa Broadband Maps to identify connectivity gaps

Over 1.5 billion women used mobile internet in 2023 in developing nations, as women are adopting connectivity faster than men, according to the GSMA.

Somalian operators Hormuud Telecom, Golis Telecom, and the GSMA have moved to deepen their collaboration with NGOs by developing a strategy to fully harness mobile technology for humanitarian efforts.

Around 2.6 billion people are still not connected to the Internet, but artificial intelligence may be the key to changing that, according to a new report from the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development.
