Brian – It is a strange fact – but fixed line penetration has been comparatively poor across the African continent, so mobile technology has driven the uptake of the Internet. Coupled with a booming economy and large youth population it’s perhaps not so surprising that South Africa raced ahead.

Kennith – I think the surge will be more like a tsunami! As soon as content providers start playing catch up on the technology the supply will race to meet the demand.

Am I the only that finds it funny that the United States WAS behind South Africa in mobile Internet usage at one point?

Three-fold growth in 12 months is quite impressive. Information has become valuable, and readily available to the end-user whether via home computer, or mobile device. It is amazing that all of these wireless signals can interact with each other with such minimal interference. Judging by those numbers we can probably expect a continued surge of new users as the market rips open at the seams. What do you think Paul?
