Description

South Africa Telecom Services Market Forecast, 2021–2026

This IDC Market Forecast examines the outlook for the South African telecommunications market for 2021–2026. It analyzes spending on consumer and enterprise fixed and mobile services (voice and data) and on Pay TV services. The study discusses key trends, identifies industry challenges, and examines how spending behavior will power growth in the telecom ecosystem over the forecast period.“The telecom ecosystem in South Africa is undergoing an accelerated transformation across fixed and mobile services. The recent regulatory and policy developments around spectrum, 5G network rollouts, government focus on 4IR, and increased scrutiny on market competitiveness — as well as the government’s new spectrum policy, which emphasizes the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the telecom/ICT market — will further encourage new business models, new partnership strategies, and new propositions for both consumer and business customers. Service providers will need to develop customer-led digital-first strategies and adopt an ecosystem-based approach, leveraging emerging technologies that will offer increased value beyond connectivity and communication services.” — Senior Research Manager Keoikantse Marungwana, Telco and IoT, IDC Sub-Saharan Africa

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.
