When it comes to developing a country’s economy, there’s one essential ingredient that has to be in the melting pot, and that’s an efficient and viable communications network.
And in the early years of the 21st Century, that comes down to mostly one thing, broadband. And this fact has not been lost on one particular African country that has publicly announced that it wants to be the Singapore of Africa. So does this ambitious nation herald a new stage of broadband in Africa?
Somalialnd is in the vanguard of a new technological age which is heralding the arrival of cost-effective broadband in Africa. Most broadband in Africa has up until early this year been delivered by satellite, but all that is changing in many parts of the continent by the delivery of new, high-speed fibre-optic internet networks. And this new infrastructure is being made possible by the laying down of a network of undersea cables around Africa. Somaliland, which is not a landlocked country, but due to many complications connecting its capital Hargeisa late this year and will spread out a national network throughout 2013
