As the need for internet localisation increases, terrestrial fibre networks grow in importance for landlocked regions of Africa. The ecosystem of data centres and networks exchanging and interconnecting traffic is thriving, but can it keep up with demand? Regional experts will discuss:

• How data centre and network operators are collaborating to connect the next billion 
• How to fulfil the vision of open, interoperable, reliable and secure access to Internet for all 
• How to leverage the success of subsea consortium models to finance large-scale cross-border collaborative terrestrial fibre deployments 
• How to unlock competitive pricing and better customer experience
