New Players, Networks & Services: Identifying WinningStrategies to Compete in a Changing East Africa

5th-6th April 2011

The Kenyatta International


www.comworldseries.com/eafrica

Now in its 7th year

East Africa New Players,

New Competition, New Strategies

We are delighted to introduce you to East Africa Com 2011 which will take place

in a more exciting market than ever before. Last year, Zain was bought by Airtel

and so numerous operations in East Africas markets have had a change of

strategy, a change of branding, and perhaps a change in fortune. Zain Kenya

notoriously fought the dominance of Safaricom, will Airtel Africa make further

progress in this intensely competitive market? East Africa Com 2011 will be the

platform for these questions, debates, and discussions.

Last year we had a very successful show with over 780 attendees - 56% of

those were operator representatives and with the subscription base in East

African markets forecast to grow over the next 5 years by a huge 95%, there is

no doubt that an event of this kind is highly valuable and the ideal place to refresh

your thinking in light of the latest developments.

Increasing numbers of operators are competing on price, services and quality of

service whilst at the same time stretching to meet demanding Universal Service

targets. This affects all service providers from mobile and satellite to fixed-line and

ISP. Alongside this, a growing number are offering fixed-line, mobile and internet

services across a mix of technologies. With this array of challenges and growth

opportunities, East Africa Com is the perfect forum for operators needing to get

together, discuss, and learn.

With entrenched support from the key stakeholders of the East African

telecommunications industry including Somali Minister for Information,

Post and Telecommunications, H.E. Abdulkareem Jama and our line-up

of15 CxO operator speakers, this chance to network, debate and be

inspired by thought-leaders and peers alike is a unique opportunity.
