Africa is seeing the strongest growth of internet users, with 39.8%of Africans having access to the internet. China, India and the US rank ahead of all other countries in terms of internet users. If the LinkSure project becomes successful and available in Africa, Chang predicted the initiative will play an important role in internet inclusion on the African continent. “In terms of the concept, while we haven’t seen the project come alive yet, as it’s still in the works, the idea does seem to be practical. Internet connectivity has been declared a human right and this project is expected to have a major impact on connecting Africa.” The total cost of the LinkSure is reportedly estimated to reach more than $431 million, with funds to be sourced from partners. The project concept is not new,notes Chang. As the race to connect the globe intensifies, other companies,such as Facebook, Google and SpaceX, are among those that have embarked onsimilar initiatives, while on a smaller scale. Last year, SpaceX launched a pairof test satellites called Tintin A and Tintin B into orbit , as part of founder Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to provide broadband internet connectivity to millions of users across the globe. Google’s WiFi offering “GoogleStation” has seen the launch of free WiFi in many parts of the globe. In SA, users in 125 locations across Langa, Khayelitsha, Gugulethu,Delft, Elsies River and Philippi in Cape Town have already been connected to Google’sfree everyday internet connectivity. * This article first appeared on ITWeb ALSO ON ITWEB AFRICA
