Connectivity is a bit hard without infrastructure or electricity...you have to start with the basics. Healthcare and education are still big problems in Africa, especially in the rural parts. Once you have a stable base to build on things like connectivity becomes more important. I agree though that in the more developed areas, governments shouldn't underestimate the value and boost decent and cheap internet connectivity can make to the economy..

That's orders of magnitude less efficient than the Internet will be for the people there, if you combine everything together. Technology has always raised the living conditions of countries. The more there was, the faster it has done it.
