SHANE CHAWLEY - Bridging the Digital Divide: Expanding Internet Access in South Africa

--:--
Shane Chawley, CEO of Frogfoot Networks, dives into the current state of internet access in South Africa, focusing on the challenges faced by underserved communities. According to the 2023 General Household Survey by Stats SA, only 14.5% of households have access to fixed internet, with significant disparity between regions, especially in low-income and informal areas. Shane explains how the cost of mobile data, often higher than fibre connections, exacerbates these challenges. He shares insights into Frogfoot's efforts to bring affordable broadband solutions to these communities and discusses how advancements in both fibre and wireless technologies can help bridge the digital divide.
