Mmm so is this something that is related to technology?

And the red one is suppose to be Ivory Coast (the first to have the installment?) while the Blue one is Malawi (the last one), am I right?
 
half 20th century, related to technology and communication, and delayed because of political reason. Where Ivory Coast is the first to comply and Malawi is the last.

What can it be.

It cannot be telephone because it was already entered since late 19th century. Mmm... It's not internet also. Perhaps it's as Kyr assumed but I'm not sure.
 
Oh yes I mixed it up with VHS and Betamax lol
 
Some type of (color) tv, then
That is exactly what it is! The introduction of color television by country. The Ivory Coast was the first to start color broadcasts in 1970.

Orange - 1970’s
Yellow - 1980’s
Green - 1990’s

Malawi started in 1996, previously having no service at all.

South Africa’s service started in 1976, also after previously having no television service. The apartheid government feared that it would undermine “Christian“ values and promote “race-mixing.” They would ultimately prove to be correct in a sense; the most popular program on South African television in white households? The Cosby Show. :)

The darker the color, the better the quantity.
 
Nope nope faraway!

I will give all of you a huge clue. This is a top ten list of countries! And un-usually Canada and Australia are not included in the top 10 list :( While Italy and Brazil are included.

How strange is that?
