The canyons dug, data centers built and other submarine cables laid on the ocean floor by various telecom operators and internet giants in recent years, should start to bear fruit in 2025.

According to these reports, the volume of African Internet sales may reach between 180 and 200 billion dollars within three years. And by 2025, 30 billion of that windfall should be reinvested in the maintenance and deployment of new networks, according to estimates by the GSMA, which includes more than 750 mobile operators and manufacturers around the world.
