African Fixed and Wireless Broadband and Internet Markets
Report
Large parts of Africa gained access to international fibre bandwidth for the first
time via submarine cables in 2009 and 2010. In other parts of the continent, additional

terrestrial fibre backbone infrastructure to take the new bandwidth to population
centers in the interior and across borders into landlocked countries.
