 Senegal - Telecoms Market Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Senegal has developed one of Africa's most extensive and modern telecommunications infrastructures. Real liberalisation began in 1997 with the partial privatisation of the national operator Sonatel. The incumbent's monopoly officially ended in 2004, and a second national operator (SNO) and third mobile operator may be licensed before the end of 2006. Mobile services were introduced in 1996 and competition in that sub-sector in 1999. Since the introduction of competition, the number of mobile subscribers has grown dramatically, with cellular lines now representing more than 85% of all telephone lines. Internet usage has doubled every year since 2003 when ADSL services were introduced. Overall market penetration is still low, resulting in attractive opportunities for new entrants.
