According to 2011 estimates, about 13.5% of African population has Internet access. While Africa accounts for 15% of the world's population, only 6% of the World's Internet subscribers are Africans.
While the telecommunications market in Africa is still in its early stages of development, it is also one of the fastest-growing in the world. In the last 10 years, mobile telephony in Africa has been booming, and is now substantially more widespread.
Internet access is also irregularly distributed, with 2/3 of overall online activity in Africa being generated in South Africa (which, on the other hand, only accounts for 5% of the continent's population).Most of the remaining 1/3 is in Morocco and Egypt.
The International Telecommunication Union held the first 'Connect the World' meeting in Kigali, Rwanda (Oct 2007) as a demonstration that the development of telecommunications in Africa is considered a key intermediate objective for achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
