Ethiopia is world's second most expensive place to get a fixed broadband connection

September 03 Posted by: suleyman | 3-09-2010, 07:00 |

A report released by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) reveals that, Ethiopia has the second most expensive fixed broadband service anywhere in the world. A broadband service taken for granted in much of the developed world would literally cost, an arm, a leg and some in Ethiopia. According to ITU figures, it would cost nearly 21 times the average monthly salary in Ethiopia.

The most expensive place for broadband is Central African Republic. Ethiopia which has recently been ranked as the second poorest country behind Niger has one of the lowest mobile and internet subscribers ratio in the world. According to world internet users, less than 1 percent of Ethiopians use internet.

More than five years has passed since Meles Zenawi promised universal internet access in Ethiopia within three years. The country has a shameful record in almost all ICT indicators.
