As of February 2016, mobile operators in 28 African nations offer commercial 4G LTE service – up from only 6 in early 2013.

On our mind this January 17th, 2012 are a range of themes – from Google’s up-and-down week to cross-border telecom partnerships to 3G arriving in Algeria.

3G for Algeria, Chad/Cameroon fibre partnership, Google Ghana aims to help get business online, Nigerian protests successful with social media, St. Helena aims for broadband upgrade, behind Tanzania’s TCRA, random stats, and more!

The British overseas territories of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, although not per se African, are nonetheless geographically African.
