 Zambia - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Zambia has an independently regulated telecoms sector with three competing mobile networks and a monopoly fixed-line operator, Zamtel. The fixed-line network is still at a very low level of development, which in turn has impeded growth in the Internet sector, while the mobile sector has experienced strong growth of around 100% every year recently. Nevertheless, even mobile penetration is still low at only around 8%. Initially failed efforts to privatise Zamtel and the award of a fourth mobile licence may be revisited in the near future. Other expected major developments in 2006 include the enactment of a national ICT policy and the liberalisation of Internet telephony (VoIP) and international gateways.
