Infographic: Our Connected World

Published by Minnaar Pieters on Aug 6th, 2010, No Comments

Very interesting infographic from the folks at GigaOM. You might want to glance at the figures for South Africa – as you can see, we are very much behind the rest of the world once it comes to broadband connectivity. Our mobile-only phone access looks impressive – but this is of course because of Telkom’s ridiculous pricing and poor service levels. Or that is my interpretation anyway.

Here’s hoping that EASSY and WACS will set things right.
