This paper examines the quantitative and qualitative situation of the current fixed and mobile Internet and its expected future. First, the number of users and penetration rate of the Internet, various types of services in different countries, the ranking of countries in terms of the mean and median download and upload Internet data speeds, Internet data volume, and number and location of data centers in the world are presented. The second task introduces and details twelve performance evaluation metrics for broadband Internet access. Third, different wired and wireless Internet technologies are introduced and compared based on data rate, coverage, type of infrastructure, and their advantages and disadvantages. Based on the technical and functional criteria, in the fourth work, two popular wired and wireless Internet platforms, one based on optical fiber and the other based on the 5G cellular network, are compared in the world in general and Australia in particular. Moreover, this paper has a look at Starlink as the latest satellite Internet candidate, especially for rural and remote areas. The fifth task outlines the latest technologies and emerging broadband Internet-based services and applications in the spotlight. Sixthly, it focuses on three problems in the future Internet in the world, namely the digital divide due to the different quality of the Internet and new Internet-based services and applications of emerging technologies, the impact of the Internet on social interactions, and hacking and insecurity on the Internet. Finally, some solutions to these problems are proposed.

The advent of cloud computing has significantly transformed the business landscape globally, offering a plethora of opportunities for organizations to enhance their operational efficiency and competitiveness. This paper aims to review and analyze the impact of cloud computing specifically on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the African context. As cloud computing continues to gain traction worldwide, its implications for SMEs in Africa, which constitute a significant portion of the region's economic fabric, become increasingly crucial. The study will adopt a comprehensive approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to assess the various dimensions of cloud computing adoption among SMEs in Africa. It will delve into the challenges faced by SMEs in embracing cloud technology, including issues related to infrastructure, data security, and skill gaps. Additionally, the paper will explore the potential benefits derived from the adoption of cloud solutions, such as cost savings, scalability, and improved accessibility to advanced technologies. Furthermore, the research will investigate the role of government policies, industry collaborations, and infrastructure development in shaping the cloud computing landscape for SMEs in Africa. By examining case studies and success stories, the paper will highlight best practices and identify potential strategies for overcoming barriers to adoption. The findings of this review aim to contribute valuable insights for policymakers, business leaders, and technology providers to formulate effective strategies that promote the widespread adoption of cloud computing among SMEs in Africa. Ultimately, the research seeks to enhance our understanding of the dynamics surrounding cloud technology in the African SME sector and provide recommendations for fostering a conducive environment for its sustainable and inclusive growth.

This paper examines the quantitative and qualitative situation of the current fixed and mobile Internet and its expected future. It provides a detailed insight into the past, present, and future of the Internet along with the development of technology and the problems that have arisen in accessing and using broadband Internet. First, the number of users and penetration rate of the Internet, the various types of services in different countries, the ranking of countries in terms of the mean and median download and upload Internet data speeds, Internet data volume, and number and location of data centers in the world are presented. The second task introduces and details twelve performance evaluation metrics for broadband Internet access. Third, different wired and wireless Internet technologies are introduced and compared based on data rate, coverage, type of infrastructure, and their advantages and disadvantages. Based on the technical and functional criteria, in the fourth work, two popular wired and wireless Internet platforms, one based on optical fiber and the other based on the 5G cellular network, are compared in the world in general and Australia in particular. Moreover, this paper has a look at Starlink as the latest satellite Internet candidate, especially for rural and remote areas. The fifth task outlines the latest technologies and emerging broadband Internet-based services and applications in the spotlight. Sixthly, it focuses on three problems in the future Internet in the world, namely the digital divide due to the different qualities of available Internet and new Internet-based services and applications of emerging technologies, the impact of the Internet on social interactions, and hacking and insecurity on the Internet. Finally, some solutions to these problems are proposed.
