  2. Against 95% 4G population coverage, officials conceded digital literacy below 10% \u2014 and framed inclusion around the 'three As': Access, Adoption and Application.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. With only 23% of MTN's five million subscribers on smartphones, the forum put the connectivity-without-devices-or-skills wall on the table, with regulator, telcos and educators trading hard numbers in one room.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
