Competition
The competitive environment in sub-Saharan Africa is getting more intense. Price competition has been fierce in Tanzania and DRC and prices have fallen as low as US$0.02 per minute in Tanzania.
Competitive pressure has contributed to an 18.0% a year decline in our effective price per minute across the Group. But this has been partly offset by an increase in the minutes of use.
We saw new players enter the mobile data market. Competition and increased investment have led to lower data prices in most of our markets.
New forms of competition are coming from the likes of handset manufacturers, internet companies and software providers, as well as systems integrators in the converged communications space.
Competition will keep on driving prices lower and increasing the focus on network capacity and service quality.
