report from the Internet Society, a non-profit that advocates for an open and secure global Internet, has found that South Africa has the most resilient Internet on the continent.
The Internet Society defines a resilient Internet connection as “one that maintains an acceptable level of service in the face of faults and challenges to normal operation”.report, South Africa achieved high marks in infrastructure, security, market readiness and performance, all of which are essential for connecting underserved communities and encouraging economic growth and innovation.
“Unfortunately, not all countries have reliable Internet infrastructure,” the report said. “Low-income countries often have under-provisioned networks and lack both robust cable infrastructure and redundant interconnection systems. In these countries or regions, the likelihood of Internet outages occurring is much higher than elsewhere.”The island nations of Mauritius and the Seychelles placed second and third respectively in the Internet Society report.
At the bottom of the list are Eritrea , the Central African Republic and South Sudan . Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy by GDP, scored only 41%, placing in the bottom half of African nations. The Pulse Platform’s Resilience Index will be expanded in future to focus on other regions in the world, the Internet Society said. —
