Africa: something has changed


I still remember the days that Africa was hardly mentioned in the commercial world of satellite and telecommunications operators. This has changed significantly in the last 10-15 years. Africa has become a key continent in commercial business awareness.

Africa is of course a continent with growth perspectives. It is an ideal continent for satellite services. Not every village can be connected with fibre optic or coaxial cables but every village can watch television and surf on the internet using satellite terminals. This bridges the so-called digital divide in the world: poor and/or remote regions also get access to the digital world.

It is good to recognise that our global economy also shows some positive evolutions. More about this on the SES blog:
