I'm surprised that this thread hasn't attracted any comments. Just in case you haven't heard about the African continent Internet exchange, here is a YouTube video about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOy7jwi0At8This is a very good news if such infrastructure will be implemented by the African Union, of which the current chairperson happens to be the President of the Republic of Angola "João Goncalves Lourenço". Because by implementing an independent Internet system here in Africa, we will stand the chance of having a fast cheap and reliable internet system where we own control of all our data, just the same way Bitcoin offers us the privilege to have control of our funds too. But however, I just made a research about this news and hoping to see it on major news platforms, but couldn't find any, and as such, I'm having a 50/50 chance this news is likely to be fake, because before such will be successful, it will take Africa probably 10 to 15yrs to finally conclude this project.
