Rise in popularity of mobile telephony in Central and Eastern region of Africa.

(PRWEB) February 28, 2004 --Research and Markets announces the addition of the 2004 Telecoms in Africa - Central and Eastern Regions report to its offerings.

Low fixed-line teledensity, poor Internet penetration and the rising popularity of mobile telephony (particularly prepaid) are the chief characteristics of the telecom markets in the Central and Eastern region of Africa. While the governments struggle to maintain and expand the fixed-line networks, privately financed wireless communication networks are being rolled out at an unprecedented pace across the region. The only country in this group that has not established an independent telecom regulator is the Democratic Republic of Congo where the government has yet to develop a telecom sector policy.

This report provides information on telecoms in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Each country has its own chapter and provides key Statistics, Market Overview, Regulatory Environment, Major Players, Infrastructure, Fixed network Services, Public Data, Internet, Broadband, E-services, Wireless Communications and Broadcasting.
