Cape Verde fourth for internet penetration in Africa

Cape Verde has the fourth-highest internet penetration rate in Africa, just behind Morocco, the Seychelles and Tunisia, according to the annual report of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Speaking to Portuguese news agency Lusa, the manager of the Operational Unit for the Information Society (NOSI) of Cape Verde, Jorge Lopes, said there has been exponential growth in the country over the past three years. He said that this is due in part to the Konekta project, which allows free internet access.
