There is a confluence of indicators that suggest that for the first time in more than a decade, broadband growth in the African continent may be on the verge of truly taking off. The list is long: last mile competition, international gateway licensing, submarine cable deployments, domestic fiber backbone deployments, unified licenses, improvements in radio spectral efficiency, economies of scale on 3G radio equipment, emergence of EVDO and WiMAX, increased Internet usage from a younger population, increased availability of capital, Tier 1 mobile players aggressively getting into the Internet business and last but not least, Huawei.
A part of our larger broadband review, this report discusses drivers and obstacles to broadband growth in Africa. It provides an elaborate set of broadband forecasts (including 3G, WiMAX, ADSL and Other) for 33 African markets over the 2007 – 2012 period, with a clear set of assumptions and risks.
Key Questions
- How large is the African broadband access connectivity revenue opportunity over the next five years?
- How are/will the traditional obstacles to broadband adoption be surmounted?
- What will be the size of the African broadband user base over the next five years?
- What will be the HSPA, EVDO, WiMAX and ADSL share over the next five years?
- What are Africa’s top 15 markets for HSPA, EVDO, WiMAX and ADSL, in 2007 and 2012?
