Hello, Leo. Ready to discuss Benin and Togo's digital infrastructure?
Ready. Let's see how their internet access compares to, say, my grandmother's smartphone proficiency.
Let's be serious. Reliable internet is crucial for anyone visiting or living there. How do Benin and Togo stack up?
In major cities like Porto-Novo and Lomé, internet access exists. But don't expect seamless 4K streaming.
True, it's not Silicon Valley. But mobile internet penetration is growing, which is significant, as mobile phones are often the primary access point.
Mobile is key. Forget extensive fiber optics; it's about mobile networks, which are expanding in both countries.
It's not just about access, but quality. Are we talking dial-up speeds, or something functional?
Speed and reliability need improvement compared to North America or Europe. Downloading a file might take as long as brewing strong coffee.
Coffee-brewing download speeds, noted. But there are initiatives to improve infrastructure, expanding fiber optic networks.
Governments are investing. Even basic internet access is transformative, opening opportunities in education and business.
Digital literacy is also key – teaching people to use the internet safely and effectively.
Exactly. Training programs are crucial to ensure people can navigate the digital world safely.
And let's not forget innovation. Despite limitations, Africa's tech scene is creative. Benin and Togo might produce surprising digital solutions.
Necessity breeds invention. The next big tech innovation could originate in Benin or Togo, despite bandwidth limitations.
Precisely! Digital progress involves more than speed tests and gadgets; it's about people, ideas, and global connection.
