” Internet users in America pay $20 for one gigabyte of data per month, but people in Africa pay about $1,800 for the same amount of data …”– NextBillion.Net
This isn’t all; Africans get bilked even more:
Africans in the Diaspora pay huge commissions and fees to send money (remittance) back home; western union takes at least $60 for every $1,000 sent.
Africans pay astronomical rates in airline tickets each time we visit our brethren in Africa.
Africans get hammered with huge fees by multi-international courier agents shipping our stuff from and to the motherland.
Africans pay ridiculously high tariff in telephone cost calling the continent.
Yet, Africans are the poorest and the more disfranchised people in the world!
