Africa is now encircled with high-speed internet cables The global disparity in fixed broadband access and cost has been revealed by UN figures. The Central African Republic is the most expensive place to get a fixed broadband connection, costing nearly 40 times the average monthly income there. "Access to broadband in an affordable manner is our greatest challenge," Dr Hamadoun Toure, secretary general of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), told BBC News.

In a little more than a week, the tech industry has lost its M&A mind. As technology companies stretch for growth they are reaching for acquisitions in the name of diversification and showing a willingness to overpay for assets.
