 Sudan - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
With a CAGR of around 30% since the late 1990s, Sudan represents one of the fastest growing fixed telephony markets not only in Africa but worldwide. Annual telecommunications investment has skyrocketed from only US$500,000 in 1994 to over US$100 million. Enormous further potential exists since the country's market penetration is still only around 3% for fixed-line and Internet usage and 6% for mobile services. ADSL broadband services were introduced in 2004, a second mobile network commenced operations in July 2005 and a second fixed-line operator in November. The majority stake in the country's leading mobile network was sold in early-2006 for a record price. Under a recent peace agreement, the oil-rich south of the country which has been beyond the central government's control and deprived of development, is now establishing its own independent telecommunications regime, creating huge new opportunities for service providers and equipment suppliers.
