Abstract
Overview
This report provides 181 statistical tables showing trends and developments in
the mobile telecommunications and mobile data markets of the 38 most
significant African countries in terms of telecommunications. Statistics are
given up to 2008.
The following notes provide some background to our scenario forecasting methodology:
- This report includes what we term scenario forecasts. By describing
long-range scenarios we identify a band within which we expect market growth
to occur. The associated text describes what we see as the most likely growth
trend within this band.
- The projections shown in the tables in this report are based on our own
historical information, as well as on telecommunication sector statistics from
official and non-official, national and international sources. We assume a
possible deviation of 15-20% around this data.
- All statistics for GDP, revenue, etc are shown in US$, in order to
maintain consistency within and between markets. At the same time we
acknowledge that this can introduce some irregularities.
