AFRICA’S MOBILE NEWCOMERS TARGET OFF-CENTRE COUNTRY MARKETS
------------------------------------------------------------
(21 jan 2008) Just as mobile markets in Africa seemed to be
consolidating and the price for new entrants was going off the scale,
a new wave of competition is breaking. Africa’s two newest mobile
operators – HITS and Warid Telecom – are both concentrating on what
analysts would call the “low cards in the pack” in order to get a
foothold before tackling larger territories. Both come from
re-invested oil money earned in the Gulf and have ambitions to play
on a larger stage. Warid’s Wateen Telecoms looks set to offer some
additional surprises in Uganda.
