 Angola - Telecoms Market Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Angola is the second-largest producer of oil in sub-Saharan Africa, and the recent rise of oil prices has led to continuous GDP growth of around 20% for the past three years. With peace restored in 2002 after decades of civil war, foreign investment has multiplied and the mobile market has soared. Competition was also introduced in the underdeveloped fixed-line market and several 3G wireless technologies and WiMAX networks are being rolled out. Growth in the Internet sector is being held back by monopolistic pricing of international bandwidth, but this is expected to change with the arrival of new fibre optic submarine cables reaching the country from 2009. Privatisation of Angola Telecom, which is currently implementing a US$500 million national fibre optic backbone, and the licensing of a third mobile operator is also expected in the not too distant future. This report includes an overview and analysis of Angola's telecom market, key statistics, profiles of major players, and scenario forecasts for the fixed-line, Internet and mobile sectors to 2010 and 2015.
