African ministers agree on mobile broadband plan Cape Town - Government ministers and the GSMA have signed an agreement to expand mobile access and accelerate broadband penetration across Sub-Saharan Africa. On Friday, the GSMA met Ministers from countries including Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia to agree to a set of common priorities to expand broadband access across the region. "The provision of universal broadband access is vital in driving economic growth and improving the quality of life in Botswana and across Southern Africa," said Nonofo E Molefhi, Minister of Transport and Communication for Botswana. Expansion of cable broadband is limited in Africa despite the number of high-speed broadband services available on the continent. Most of the infrastructure remains unaffordable or unavailable for home users, mainly because of a lack of so-called "last mile" infrastructure. - #News24
