People are strugling with rent and food. This is a hustler nation requiring wheelbarrows not google balloons with all that idle bandwith reported by Communication authority year in year out. The should cut taxes on routers and ISP operations.

How cyber cafes are able to offer internet at 50 cents per minute with their computers and like of Telkom, safaricom are yet to get here with our android gadgets is wonders for the ICT pioneers.

And really most internet traffic - is video, youtube, netflxi - otherwise if you're working from home - you're probably just editing a file and sending some emails - and make a few calls - hardly enough - to show up in stats.

We need stats from zoom, teams, skype and such offline office collaboration  to know the impact of telecommutng in covid-19.

I think it's huge.

For example -The number of daily active users of Microsoft Teams have more than doubled in recent months, increasing from 32 million users in March 12. 2019 to 75 million as of April 30. 2020.
 Use of video conferencing is exploding as Zoom reached 200 million daily participants (paid and free) up from just 10 million in December.[vi]
