 Ethiopia - Telecoms Market Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Ethiopia still practices a monopoly in almost all segments of its telecoms sector. Total telephone line penetration remains very low. However, the government is intent on privatising the national operator, Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation, and introducing competition in mobile and Internet services. The mobile sector has been growing by 100% or more per annum in recent years, taking the network to its capacity limits and resulting in major infrastructure expansion efforts. Massive broadband initiatives launched during 2004 and 2005 aim at bringing the country closer to the information society and enabling it to leapfrog to a Next Generation Network (NGN). The national operator, ETC, has budgeted a record amount for the financial year 2005/2006 for infrastructure improvements.
