The study includes an analysis of key market developments and trends, the market size in terms of revenue and subscribers, demand and competition, and drivers and restraints. It also investigates the deployment of new technologies in East Africa. This study identifies the market forces in the 3 countries and determines the potential growth of these countries. Three big predictions and strategic recommendations are included. The base year used for this research study is 2011 and the forecast period is from 2012 to 2017.

• The combined revenue growths will be mainly driven by the increasing uptake of broadband services and the entry of new Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in these countries. Ethiopia is likely to open up its telecommunications sector in the short term and this will certainly have a huge impact on the uptake of broadband services in the country.

• This is indicative of a large under-serviced market and the existence of high growth potential in the X countries.
• Consequently, new market participants might target areas without broadband services in the Xcountries by providing affordable tariffs to both consumers and businesses.
