Laying fiber internet on the Lobito Corridor from Congo DR, Angola and Zambia will enable cheap and fast internet thus contributing to economic growth. The collaboration between Zambia and Congo will enable them to place the Lobito corridor at the center of investment. This will be attained because Zambia has created an enabling environment for investments.
