Summary

Cloudflare, a company that provides content delivery network services, has been expanding its datacenters across Africa to improve internet access for the continent's 1.2 billion people. The company currently operates eight datacenters in Angola, Djibouti, Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius, and three in South Africa. By setting up these datacenters, Cloudflare aims to increase download speeds in the region, improve end-user experience, and ultimately boost internet usage. Since launching its African datacenters, the company has seen a steady increase in delivered traffic across the continent. However, it will take approximately eight to twelve years for Africa to catch up with Europe and North America's current traffic levels if growth continues at the same rate.
