The content of this report was presented during the seminars and meetings of the regional groups of the ITU Study Group 3 for Africa (SG3RG-AFR) in May 2012 and for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC SG3RG) in March 2012.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, by any means whatsoever, in part or in full, without the prior written permission of ITU. Study on international Internet connectivity in sub-Saharan Africa Foreword It is my pleasure to introduce this report on International Internet Connectivity (IIC) in sub-Saharan Africa; this is part of a series of regional reports that address the present situation of Internet connection as well as future developments and challenges. These reports have been developed through collaboration between the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) in view of supporting policy makers, national regulatory authorities and operators in understanding the many aspects of international Internet connectivity. The digital revolution of the 21st century is being underpinned and in many cases driven by the growth, access and use of the Internet, but it has also led us to a modern indicator of division and poverty: exclusion from this revolution, from access to the Internet or telephone, and from the benefits of today's information society.

  • The Socio-Economic Impact of Broadband in Sub-Saharan Africa: the Satellite Advantage
    The Socio-Economic Impact of Broadband in sub-Saharan Africa: The Satellite Advantage The Socio-Economic Impact of Broadband in sub-Saharan Africa: The Satellite Advantage By the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation Page 1 The Socio-Economic Impact of Broadband in sub-Saharan Africa: The Satellite Advantage Executive Summary Broadband is not just a consequence of economic growth, it is also a cause. Sub-Saharan Africa has succeeded in the last decade in bringing voice services within the reach of some three quarters of the population, but the vast majority of the region is falling further behind the rest of the world in terms of broadband connectivity. There are two main reasons for this: supply is limited, and prices have been very high.1 Broadband is the delivery of Internet IP bandwidth (at speeds of 256 Kbps or more), and all of the content, services and applications which consume this bandwidth. The essential underpinning of broadband therefore is the need for a high capacity transmission backbone network capable of delivering this bandwidth. Providing an entry level 256 Kbps broadband service to hundreds, thousands or millions of customers requires a backbone transmission network with sufficient capacity to do so. And each time an operator increases its broadband service from 256 Kbps to 512 Kbps, 2 Mbps, or even 100 Mbps, this in turn escalates the capacity requirements of the transmission backbone network. The evolving broadband geography of sub-Saharan Africa reflects changes in the underlying level and pattern of supply of this trunk transmission capacity, and the pricing of that capacity. All of Africa’s international Internet bandwidth is supplied by satellite, submarine cables or terrestrial networks connected to submarine cables.
