I wonder how many of these countries are AWS players travelling and checking on their airline versus actually living there.  Seriously, who is playing AWS in Botswana?  Tanzania has a GDP of about $550 per capita and $1/week for AWS would be nearly 10% of an average person's income.  Interestingly enough, no one is playing in Cuba or North Korea :)

Internet is very limited in these nations, so that may be a reason :)

And about the rest..... when you travel through Botswana or Tanzania, you should have different priorities set than managing your airline. In fact, staying alive should be high up on the agenda LOL

I know for a fact that in Cuba the internet access is only limited by the cost of it. For a 15min access it'd cost around 15USD, and for people who barely make that kind of money in one month, it turns almost prohibitive.

Castro nationalized (government takeover) the phone company operations on the island... If I recall, it was an American company who built the network there and it really hasn't been a massive amount of international connection made since then (1959).   They only recently switched over to digital phone service.    They are not connected to the US network.  They rank  #154 globally for number of internet hosts at 3,244... for comparison, the USA has 505,000,000.   Cuba has one earth-to-satellite installation that the Soviets installed. 

People require special permission to get computers, let alone access to the web.  Those few people with permission must often pay in non-Cuban currencies.
