NEWS: South Africa sees a huge increase in access to electronic communications devices and infrastructure

The Institute of Race Relations, or IRR, says access to electronic communications devices and infrastructure and the use of electric communications have increased far faster than the delivery of any other type of basic service in South Africa.

The finding is contained in an IRR report which tracks what it calls the communications revolution that has swept across the country.

As an example it says the number of cellphone subscriptions in South Africa grew
from eight-point-three-million in 2000 to over 68-million in 2012, or by 720-per cent.
