Previously, on August 13, 2026, the company explored the "Phygital Experience for Telcos," citing the GSMA’s Mobile Economy Africa 2026 report, which indicates 91% mobile network coverage in Africa but a 63% mobile internet usage gap, suggesting infrastructure alone is insufficient for digital adoption.
