[August 05, 2008] Senegal Has Developed One Of Africa's Most Extensive And Modern Telecommunications Infrastructures Tweet DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c56fe5/senegal_telecoms) has announced the addition of the "Senegal - Telecoms Market Overview Statistics & Forecasts" report to their offering. Senegal has developed one of Africa's most extensive and modern telecommunications infrastructures. The national operator Sonatel is partially privatised and highly profitable. The incumbent's monopoly officially ended in 2004, and a SNO and third mobile operator are to be licensed. Since the introduction of competition in the mobile sector in 1999, the number of mobile subscribers has grown dramatically, now representing more than 90% of all telephone lines. Senegal was one of the first African countries to introduce ADSL in 2003 which has almost completely replaced dial-up as an Internet access method. Overall market penetration is still low, resulting in attractive opportunities for new entrants. Key Topics Covered: 1. Synopsis 2. Key statistics 3.
