Africa Mobile Broadband Market
Report
The African region is witnessing one of the strongest increases in mobile data use
in the world. Forecasts suggest that mobile internet traffic across Africa will
double between 2014 and 2015, and will see a 20-fold increase by the end of the
decade.
Get all the facts here, in this 176 page report.
Africa Mobile Voice Market and Major Network
Operators
As a result of fixed-line limitations, mobile services still represent more than
90% of all telephone lines in service in Africa. The popularity of cheaper prepaid
services, which in some markets account for up to 98% of all mobile subscribers,
as well as a steady fall in tariffs has meant that an increasing proportion of
the population can both access and afford a mobile phone.
