Google's aim is to democratize access to the world's information. But clearly we (along with other companies) face significant challenges in Africa in making the Internet available to as many people as possible. How do we help the hundreds of millions of people who are illiterate? How do we make the world's information available in African languages (about 2000 languages are spoken on this continent)? How do we support online access for people who live in rural environments without electricity? How do we make African content more widely available - not only in Africa, but around the world? How can we get more people connected, and make access faster and cheaper? These are some of the questions we've been asking ourselves.
