South Africa Telecommunications Report

Feb 18, 2015 – Navi Mumbai, India: Marketreportsonsouthafrica.com presents a report on “South Africa Telecommunications Report.” These developments have the potential to improve competition and drive growth in the market.

Summary

Competition dynamics could change significantly in South Africa's fixed-line sector owing to a number of key regulatory and industry-specific factors, including the functional separation of Telkom's wholesale and retail fixed network services, the implementation of local loop unbundling (LLU), expected in March 2014, and possible market consolidation, with Vodacom still in talks to buy Neotel. These developments have the potential to improve competition and drive growth in the market.

Although subscriptions to fixed-line services will remain under pressure from fixed to mobile substitution, we expect greater competition in the market to lead to the introduction of high-value converged services for retail consumers and innovative enterprise solutions for businesses.
