La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine Facebook, fond\u00e9e par Mark Zuckerberg, a annonc\u00e9 le gel de son projet d\u2019investissement pour le d\u00e9veloppement de la connectivit\u00e9 Internet en Ouganda. Cette d\u00e9cision d\u00e9coule de l\u2019introduction par le gouvernement de la taxe sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux<\/a>, entr\u00e9e en vigueur le 1er juillet 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

L\u2019investissement dans l\u2019am\u00e9lioration de la connectivit\u00e9 Internet \u00e9voqu\u00e9 par Facebook en Ouganda se chiffre \u00e0 170 millions de dollars US. Il est le fruit d\u2019un accord de coop\u00e9ration avec l\u2019op\u00e9rateur de t\u00e9l\u00e9phonie mobile Airtel et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Bandwidth & Cloud Services portant sur le d\u00e9ploiement de 770 kilom\u00e8tres de fibres dans le Nord-Ouest de l’Ouganda.<\/p>\n

D\u2019apr\u00e8s le Journal The East African, Kojo Boakye, le responsable des politiques publiques africaines chez Facebook, a d\u00e9j\u00e0 inform\u00e9 la Commission ougandaise des communications (UCC) de la d\u00e9cision de l\u2019entreprise d\u2019investir ailleurs parce que le mod\u00e8le sur lequel \u00e9tait bas\u00e9 le plan d’investissement en Ouganda sera affect\u00e9 par la taxe.<\/p>\n

En Ouganda, Facebook estimait que le faible volume d\u2019utilisateurs de son r\u00e9seau (2,2 millions pour 13 millions d\u2019Internautes en 2015), d\u00e9coulait en grande partie de la mauvaise qualit\u00e9 de la connectivit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

En investissant alors sur la qualit\u00e9 du d\u00e9bit Internet par la fibre optique, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine pr\u00e9parait le terrain \u00e0 la croissance du nombre d\u2019utilisateurs de son r\u00e9seau social via l\u2019augmentation du volume de consommateurs d\u2019Internet.<\/p>\n

Mais avec la taxe d\u00e9cid\u00e9e par le gouvernement, Facebook s\u2019estime perdant parce qu\u2019il d\u00e9pense en amont pour am\u00e9liorer la connectivit\u00e9 du pays alors que l\u2019utilisation au quotidien de son service est frein\u00e9e en aval.<\/p>\n
