East Africa telecoms: data assumesthe mantle of growth driverConsumer demand for data services will transform the dynamics of theindustry. Certainly, the arrival of the first intercontinental submarine cableson the East African coast in 2009 will remove the bottleneck of inadequateinternational connectivity across the region, and ease the supply for dataservices. The deployment of East Africa’s first tripleplay network offeringtelephony, broadband and TV services under the Zuku brand name willalso help feed this growth in data services. With the rapid urbanisation ofthe region, the commercial cities of Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and Mombasashould create significant addressable markets. With service providercompetition intense across the region, there is certainly a need foroperators to differentiate – compelling pricing and device strategies couldbecome key competitive benefits in 2011. Until now, progress towardsconvergence in East Africa has been rather modest. That balance is likelyto switch as a result of a transformation in the telecoms infrastructure andthe emergence of a more sophisticated set of consumer demands. Thesechanges will come together to put data services and convergence at thecentre of the East African market.
