摘要

The aftermath of the 1994 genocide and a monopolistic market structure until 2006 have weighed on the Rwandan telecommunications sector, but the country is now on its way to outpace most other markets in Africa, which as a whole is already the fastest growing region in the world. The 99% privatised incumbent telco is more innovative than most of its African counterparts in the provision of market-driven, affordable services, and it was recently licensed to compete in the mobile sector as well. The country has one of the most developed fibre infrastructures in the region and is preparing to connect to the new high-bandwidth submarine cables that are being planned along the east cost of Africa.
