Parts of Africa already 'has' Broadband.

Take many Countries in Africa :

Geographically may be about 15% of the Country will have
many of the Services you might expext in a First World
Country. Which leaves 85% of the Country without :
Many of them; Most of them; All of them.

But that 15 % ain't Bad when 50 % of your Population lives
in those Areas Served. Oops - that leaves 50 % of the
Population without them.

OBTW - This is not a Country in Africa but Tuolumne County
