 Tunisia - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
As a result of heavy investments in the telecom sector since the mid-1990s, Tunisia now has one of the most developed telecommunications infrastructures in Northern Africa with a fixed-line teledensity of more than 12%. The mobile sector has experienced exceptional growth, especially since a second operator was licensed in 2002. Various 3G trial systems have been installed and as one of the first in Africa the country saw its first 3G call made in 2004. Internet access is available country-wide with a fibre optic backbone and international access via submarine cables, terrestrial and satellite links. In 2006 a 35% stake in the incumbent telco, Tunisie Telecom, was sold to a UAE-based consortium.
