Is Central African Republic really that badly off in terms of Internet access? I find that had to believe.
It seems correct:
Central African Republic has internet penetration rates of just 11%, equal to some 550,000 people online last year, the DataReportal website estimates. Meanwhile only around 14% of people have access to electricity and less than half have a mobile phone connection, the Economist Intelligence Unit says.
So many of the people without electricity have a mobile phone, which means they go somewhere to charge it. It's also
one of the most expensive countries for mobile data.
