The digital divide is one of the biggest problems facing global society. It highlights the global inequalities in access to digital services across all sectors and social levels.
In this article I want to discuss the lack of availability of digital infrastructure for millions of people in developing countries, using Africa as an example.

Lastly, I will present the benefits that potential solutions could have for the population and the government itself.
