In just 10 years-dating from the end of the 1990s-mobile network coverage rose from 16 percent to 90 percent of the urban population and by 2009 nearly half of Africa's rural population was also living within range of a mobile network. Large-scale investment in the sector across the continent has transformed telecommunications from a luxury enjoyed by a privileged few to a mass-market, low-cost service, used in villages and cities alike.Africa's ICT Infrastructure: Building on the Mobile Revolution charDirections in development (Washington, D.C.).Infrastructure.World Bank e-Library.Africa's information and communication technologies infrastructureInformation technologyAfricaTelecommunicationAfricaEconomic assistanceAfricaInformation technologyTelecommunicationEconomic assistance384.5/3Williams Mark D.
