Out of Africa

According to Peter Olson, a member of Ericsson's strategy and product management team, who was discussing the evolution and growth of mobile telephony at Ericsson's “Telecoms Evolution for Africa” event, held in Illovo this week and reported by ITWeb:

"Africa is in a unique position in that it has a far higher penetration of cellular telephony than it does of fixed-line telephony. Mobile subscribers in Africa should more than double inside the next five years, growing from around 28 million subscribers today to around 60 million by 2008.

“Africa is very much going to be the focus for telecoms service providers over the next few years, as the potential for revenue growth is huge,” he says.
