Global Internet Access Shake-Up: Outages, Crackdowns, and a Race to Connect the Unconnected

Global Internet Access Shake-Up: Outages, Crackdowns, and a Race to Connect the Unconnected

Major investments in physical internet infrastructure were unveiled over the past 48 hours, spanning undersea cables and satellites. SpaceX completed its fourth Starlink launch from California in a month, lofting 24 satellites on August 29 to enhance coverage in polar regions. This bolsters SpaceX’s constellation of over 8,000 active satellites, which is already delivering broadband to dozens of countries. Rival project Kuiper – Amazon’s satellite internet network – is also accelerating: Amazon announced it expects to begin beta service by late 2025, after deploying its first 27 satellites in April and scheduling another launch for Sept. 25. Kuiper plans to eventually operate 3,200+ satellites aimed at blanketing underserved areas with up to 1 Gbps speeds. These satellite rollouts are poised to bring connectivity to remote communities from the Arctic to rural Asia, complementing ground networks.

The Gambia’s Internet Revolution: How Fiber, 5G, and Satellite Broadband Are Connecting a Nation

The Gambia’s Internet Revolution: How Fiber, 5G, and Satellite Broadband Are Connecting a Nation

The Gambia’s internet infrastructure is a mix of modest fiber-optic backbones, mobile networks, and a single major international cable connection. The country has been connected to the Africa Coast to Europe submarine fiber-optic cable since 2011, which provides the bulk of its international bandwidth. However, reliance on a lone undersea cable has proven risky – in 2022, an ACE cable outage knocked the entire country offline for over 8 hours when backup links via Senegal failed ecoi.net. To bolster resilience, a second submarine cable landing in Banjul is in the works under a World Bank-funded regional integration program freedomhouse.org freedomhouse.org. Domestically, the state-run Gamtel operates a National Broadband Network fiber backbone to extend high-speed links across the country. This backbone and other terrestrial links have faced frequent cuts and disruptions, often due to road construction and vandalism in the Greater Banjul area ecoi.net ecoi.net. These fiber cuts have not only caused local outages but also increased costs for internet providers that must constantly repair damaged lines freedomhouse.org.

From Sand to Signal: The Shocking Reality of Internet Access in the Sahara

From Sand to Signal: The Shocking Reality of Internet Access in the Sahara

Introduction: The image of the Sahara Desert typically evokes endless dunes and remote oases – not Wi-Fi signals. Yet in today’s world, even this vast expanse is inching its way online. Spanning roughly 9 million square kilometers across North Africa, the Sahara is the largest hot desert on Earth Esimo. It stretches across or borders about ten countries – including Algeria, Mali, Niger, Chad, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia – each grappling with the challenge of bringing internet connectivity to some of the most remote communities on the planet. The harsh environment and low population density long left many Saharan areas “digital black holes” with virtually no reliable internet or mobile service Esimo. Recently, however, technological breakthroughs and policy initiatives have sparked hope for a more connected future in this “digital desert.” Below, we explore the current state of internet infrastructure in the Sahara, the rise of satellite internet solutions like Starlink and OneWeb, the unique challenges to connectivity, efforts to bridge the digital divide, the costs of getting online, and how access to the internet is transforming Saharan societies.
