Description

A Comparative View of 4G, FTTx, and 5G Plans in South Africa

This IDC Market Perspective presents a comparative view of South African telecom operators’ data-only tariff plans and the UAE's position in relation to those offerings in other 5G-live countries — Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. IDC has calculated the median values of the monthly plan prices, gigabyte prices, and data usage limits for 4G, 5G, and fiber to the "x" (FTTx) data plans. The report compares these South African plans with the combined median values of plans across the region. Each country included in this research is covered in a separate study.This IDC Market Perspective presents a comparative view of South African telecom operators’ data-only tariff plans and the UAE's position in relation to those offerings in other 5G-live countries — Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.

"With the new arsenal of spectrum assets across the mobile operator space, the new technology developments such as Open RAN, the investments in fiber and wireless networks, and the multi-technology network rollout strategies, South Africa's broadband coverage should expand dramatically. Service providers are now obliged to introduce new service innovations, advanced use cases, and value propositions to consumers and business customers alike." — Senior Research and Consulting Manager Keoikantse Marungwana, IDC

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
