(PRWEB) March 16, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c13924) has announced the addition of 2005 - Africa Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Overviews and Telecom Company Profiles to their offering.

With around 13% of the worlds population and less than 3% of the worlds telephone lines, Africa is fast evolving as a continent of unlimited opportunity for telecommunications service providers, equipment vendors and investors.

Africa needs to invest US$11 billion per year over a 10-year period to reach its target of 10% teledensity by the year 2010. The private sector is expected to be the key player in the financing of telecommunications development in the region.

Many African countries are undergoing sectoral reform and foreign investment is flowing in as privatisation and deregulation are progressively being introduced. More than one-third of all state telcos have already privatised and several more are set to undergo privatisation in the near future. Nigeria and Kenya, two of the biggest markets on the continent, have privatisation of their national telcos on the agenda for 2005.

This report provides overviews of the main market segments on the continent. The report also covers African telco companies.
