 Burkina Faso - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Despite ranking among the poorest countries in the world, Burkina Faso's telecom operator re-invests in the network and has registered steady growth in its teledensity which accelerated sharply in 2004 following the deployment of fixed-wireless systems. Mobile telephony has experienced outstanding growth in the past few years, with subscribers to the three digital networks outnumbering fixed lines in the country by more than 6:1. Moving into 2006, the telecom sector promises new opportunities for investment and network development. The incumbent telco's monopoly came to an end in 2005 and the government plans its privatisation, the licensing of several new international gateway operators, rural operators and possibly a VoIP operator.
