Unlike other countries which support cost-effective broadband policy, South Africa made it challenging to access broadband services. The cost is quite high in South Africa that it is estimated that the cost of just 1GB data is equivalent to 7% of an average person salary in South Africa. Telecom companies in South Africa are not quite happy about the regulations and thought of it as a non-growth policy.

Rwanda has somehow better regulations about controlling cost and infrastructure developments. It is also working on 5G deployment through its partnership with KT (Korea Telecom).
