In an article from the African Economic Outlook, a collaboration between the African Development Bank, the OECD Development Centre and the United Nations Development Programme, Africa's telecommunications infrastructure has seen rapid growth in recent years. According to the article, titled "Technology Infrastructure and Services in Africa", while telecommunications has risen, information technology, primarily internet, has the lowest rate in the world. In my opinion, while telecommunications is key to economic development, the ability to access the world wide web is even more so necessary. The knowledge and education available could very well draw Africa out of its economic hardships.
