What it does
Connecting Africa covers African telecommunications, mobile services, fintech, startups and digital business through news, interviews and analysis.
Telecom news is connected to regulation and digital finance, including proposed changes to crypto rules in South Africa. The country-specific policy context is useful when a headline describes a technology market as if it operated under one continent-wide framework. Connectivity separates broadband, cloud, data centres and mobile generations. Podcasts and events are separate from reported policy/company stories; the page identifies Informa's Festivals Division.
