Massive cable project set to give Africa internet boost

The consortium, which includes China Mobile International, Facebook, Orange and Vodafone, said a cable 37,000 kilometres long will make landfall in 16 countries in Africa and the Middle East.

The connector will travel down the east coast of Africa and then up the west coast and connect to Britain, using new technology that doubles the number of optical fibres. Many Africans access the internet via their phones, and even those who have a landline generally have slow speeds with the rest of the world due to insufficient bandwidth.
