摘要

The new private owners of Madagascar's incumbent telco, Telma, have managed to almost double the number of fixed line customers in 2006 alone after years of stagnation, albeit from a very low base. They also entered the mobile market successfully as the country's third player. Penetration rates in both sectors are still extremely low, promising excellent growth potential. Pent-up demand for Internet access and broadband capabilities, resulting from the traditionally underdeveloped fixed network, will continue driving both market sectors. With one of the lowest GDPs per capita in the world, there will be limits to the growth of Madagascar's telecoms market, but plans to exploit and export crude oil and natural gas reserves may deliver a boost to the economy. This report provides an overview of the country’s telecoms sector, relevant statistics and scenario forecasts to the years 2010 and 2015.
