Have you thought about the fact that most people on Earth have never heard the sound of a phone call? This fact opens the eyes to digital inequality. IA EAOMEDIA delves into the reasons and tells how things are with the connection in the world today.

In remote villages there are no tower of communication, and electricity is a luxury. Data of 2025: In Subsachara Africa, only 25% of the population have a mobile phone.
But progress is coming: cheap smartphones and projects like Starlink give hope. In the cities of Africa, the connection is growing, but they get to the hinterland of technology slowly. The fact that for us the norm is a dream for billions.
