Africa's broadband infrastructure projects add up to investments of $6.4 billion, and could save the continent about $400 million a year in call routing costs, says the African Internet Service Providers Association (AfrISPA).

Speaking at the Broadband Summit, in Sandton, this week, AfrISPA executive secretary Eric Osiakwan said a number of public-private partnerships are working on about a dozen credible broadband infrastructure projects on the continent.

The projects include the well-publicised East Africa Submarine Cable System (Eassy), Seacom, Baharicom (Nepad's broadband infrastructure project), Infraco's cable system, Nigeria's Glo-1, Main Street Technologies' Main One and Infinity Telecom.
