Internet broadband is directly linked to the GDP growth of a country. Services being distributed virtually to rural areas across Africa will enable recipients to become better informed and therefore empowered.

Lack of regulations is making it difficult for ICT companies to develop innovation and operate in certain countries in Africa, making a replication of services across Africa a challenge.
