Due to the various macroeconomic factors at play, consumer demand in Africa seems to be the greatest challenge. The African telecommunications industry is expected to grow aggressively in 2009-2010, after seeing 19 million net additions to the wireless market in 2008.
Africa has been working towards bridging the digital divide gap by focusing on infrastructure development and education. Most technology trends are revolving around aspects of giving the customer freedom i.e. mobility as witnessed by the mobile boom and the advent of many wireless based / mobile services. Is Wireless the King…? However, there many fixed-line networks that have begun to offer alternatives to wireless and satellite subscriptions, thus creating a more competitive market on the continent?
Industry players in Africa, particularly mobile phone service providers, are going that extra mile to provide high quality service to maintain and improve on their stake in the market. Now is the time for mobile service providers to draw on the experiences of the developed markets, particularly in the area of Next Generation Networking (NGN) such as Third Generation (3G), 3.5 Generation (3.5G) and Fourth Generation (4G) services.
