TooMuchWifi was started in 2016 with the aim of providing more affordable internet connectivity to aspirational communities within South Africa.
By providing fast, reliable and affordable internet connectivity, we can connect communities and businesses, facilitate access to information and education, and enable people to work and communicate effectively- no matter where they are in the world.
"As a nation, we must ensure that everyone has equal access to the benefits of the internet because without connectivity, people fall behind and the digital divide becomes an economic divide." – Tauriq Brown, TooMuchWifi CEO

Extending mobile phone operators coverage deep into rural Africa
Many African countries have good mobile network coverage in the towns and cities, but in not the rural areas - and the population coverage falls well short of the maximum that is economically viable. This is due to limitations on the availability of affordable capital, with Operators forced to prioritise their precious capex on technology upgrades and coverage improvements in the high-population-density cities, rather than invest in expanding coverage into the rural areas. AMN offers Operators across Africa a simple and compelling solution - expanded coverage, more subscribers, increased revenues, guaranteed positive margins and no capex.
Africa currently has 170,000 towers - and needs at least 60,000 more. AMN plans to build approximately 5,000 towers over the next 3 years.
