It seems despite being busy with tribal warfare, corrupt politicians and a lack of infrastructure the good people of Africa are soon to be gifted mobile social messaging, 24 hour streaming nude ladies and rich multi-media content. It looks like the GSMA has finally got round to turning its spotlight on one of the world’s largest and most populace continents, promising $50bn worth of spend in Africa. The money will be used to up coverage from the current 67% to 90% with investment coming from MTN, Vodacom, Orange and Celtel. The GSMA said the increase in coverage will be vital to helping business growth across the region and the investment will definitely not be going in the sweaty pockets of some fat bloke in a military outfit purporting to be an official government representative.
