Pyramid research reveals key telecom trends for Africa

 The Africa and Middle East region offers enormous potential for operators, vendors and investors alike as it reaches a new stage in its growth.  Capturing the untapped potentials in the region is not an easy task if the diversity of the region is not recognized and the individual markets are not treated with respect to their particular necessities, according to Kerem Arsal, Africa and Middle East Manager and Presenter of Pyramid's upcoming webinar: Saharan nations. According to Pyramid Research, mobile Internet revenue will maintain an explosive growth rate in the AME region and it will double in size to represent a $25 billion opportunity by 2018. Today, there are slightly more than 5 million households with FTTH broadband in AME. By 2018, this figure will have risen to more than 16 million. In 2018, one in every two subscriptions will be running either on LTE or on 3G networks. Today, it is one in every four subscriptions.
"It is no doubt that AME is a region of high risks and high returns, and therefore in its markets, information is the most valuable resource," says Arsal. "That is why we would like to invite you to this webinar, where you will find insights drawn from ourAfrica/Middle East research, which has expanded to cover 44 countries, corresponding to 95% of the GDP in the region."
