According to a recent survey, around 1.05 billion people live in internet poverty and Africa has one of the highest populations of people without access to the internet. Technology has infiltrated day-to-day life so that it is now nearly impossible to live without having access to the web.
In Liberia, one of the major obstacles to internet inclusion is access and the major barrier to access is the price of that access. Now the government is striving to bring about positive change and one of their goals is to improve its internet economy. “The Alliance for Affordable Internet” is working to pressure companies to lower their internet costs and encourage competition among them by supporting those offering services at more affordable rates.
