How about we replace "Africa" with "Select African Countries". This is as odd as a company saying "Uncapped ISP for Europe"; it's an entire continent!

- skc 10y agoIt's only Nigeria actually.
- asabil 10y agoIt's only the Lagos region actually.
- beaconstudios 10y agogiven that this is a launch announcement, it would seem to imply that they've started in Lagos (probably due to its relatively high density of internet users) and will expand out into other regions in Nigeria and other African nations as they grow.
- nojvek 10y agoMost people don't realize how big of a land mass Africa is. US fits in Africa 4 times over. It's the second largest continent after Asia.
- CamelCaseName 10y agoTaking a look at different map projections when I was young was the first time I realized that visualizations can be deceptive.
- beaconstudios 10y agothe mercator projection has a lot to answer for.
- spooky_action 10y agoYes, the tendency to label Africa as if it were a country (rather than 54 of them) is highly annoying. Clearly this won't be available for me (Zimbabwe/South Africa)
- Semaphor 10y agoNot to mention that most ISPs in SA offer uncapped (if shaped) internet.
