They know why you want to climb the mountain. Do you want to push your limits while watching the summit? I don't think it's a good idea. We're all trying to do it for the gram, and they're in full support of that.
According to The Washington Post, the site's first installments of a high-speed internet network have just been completed. The government is planning to extend coverage to the mountain's peak by the end of the year, as it now reaches 12450 feet above sea level.
"Today Up on Mount Kilimanjaro: I am hoisting high-speed INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS (BROADBAND) on the ROOF OF AFRICA," tweeted Nape Moses Nnauye, Tanzanian's minister of information and communications. "Tourists can now communicate worldwide from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro."The internet addresses safety concerns even though it benefits social media-happy climbers. According to The Guardian, 35,000 tourists flock to the mountain each year, and even the most experienced climbers can get into trouble.
In the past, it was dangerous for visitors to operate without internet on Mount Kilimanjaro.
The local response to the decision has been mixed. Tourism rakes in over a billion dollars in revenue in the local economy, so many people in the country welcome the tourism-forward broadband. Some believe that the investments should have gone to the people of the rural areas of the country.
China has invested a lot in infrastructure in parts of Africa in recent years.
The country chose to bolster tourism by taking selfies on mountaintops. Soon, we'll all know when our cousin's cousin or random kid from high school gets to the peak. Climbers post on.
Mt. is a topic of discussion. Those climbing for thegram get the internet.
