Creamer Media's Telecommunications 2011: A review of South Africa's telecoms industry

 
South Africa's fixed-line telecommunications market, which is valued at an estimated R41-billion a year, is still dominated by one-time monopoly Telkom, despite the licensing, several years ago, of a second fixed-line telecommunications operator, Neotel. However, analysts have been saying for years that Telkom has failed to react appropriately to South Africa's changing telecommunications landscape. Meanwhile, mobile telecommunications in South Africa, dominated by two operators - Vodacom and MTN - and the less-established operator Cell C and the recently launched fourth mobile operator 8ta, have experienced phenomenal growth since the first mobile services were launched in 1994. Market penetration of cellphones is expected to reach 104% in 2011, and the country has an estimated 51-million mobile telecommunications subscribers. Nonetheless, in the face of declining growth in the voice market, South Africa's fixed-line and mobile telecommunications sectors are following an international trend towards data transmission services, with operators relying progressively more on data services to sustain their performance. This report examines these trends and includes information on the structure of the sector, corporate activity and aspects of its legislative and policy environment besides others.
