Research and Markets: East Africa Telecommunications Market 2015 - Key Fixed and Mobile Market Indicators


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9wjz6h/_the) has announced the addition of the "The Telecommunications Market in East Africa - Key Fixed and Mobile Market Indicators" report to their offering.

This research provides an analysis of the East African telecommunications market. The focus areas are fixed-line, mobile, and Internet communications, with special interest in broadband communications. The study includes analysis for the 13 East African countries on country and regional levels. The study highlights key mobile network operators and fixed-line operators in each country and their strategies to compete in this market. In addition, strategic insights on trending areas such as mobile money, mInsurance, and mCommerce services are included. A look into the market's future and an analysis of the current market landscape are provided.

Key Findings

  • In addition, Seychelles continues to retain the highest ICT development index (IDI) rank (out of countries) and the highest networked readiness inde (NRI) rank ( out of countries) in the region.
  • Market characteristics include a drive for market liberalization and fierce competition.
  • Market liberalization has been a key driver of telecommunications development, as opposed to the slow growth experienced in countries with government-owned monopolies.
  • Fierce competition is driving market consolidation and expansion into neighbouring countries. As a result, mobile network operators (MNO), e.g., MTN, Vodafone, Airtel, and Millicom (News - Alert) are increasing their geographic presence in multiple countries across Africa. The telecommunications market in Uganda is ripe for consolidation as a result of high competition.
  • Land-locked countries such as Rwanda and Uganda have shown that geographical location is not a barrier to telecommunications development. Even though these countries have limited access to undersea cables, strategic policies and high investments in fibre infrastructure have helped drive telecommunications development in these countries.
  • The integration of the telecommunications, banking, and insurance industries in the region is redefining the business models of telecommunications providers.
  • China's growing interest in Africa has led to foreign investment, especially in the form of infrastructure development, which is evident across East Africa.
