摘要
Senegal has developed one of Africa’s most extensive and modern telecommunications infrastructures. The national telco, Sonatel, is partially privatised and highly profitable. A second national operator and third mobile operator were licensed in 2007 and are expected to launch services in 2008. Since the introduction of competition in the mobile sector in 1999, the number of mobile subscribers has risen dramatically, now representing around 95% of all telephone lines. Senegal was one of the first African countries to introduce ADSL broadband service in 2003 which has almost completely replaced dial-up as the Internet access method of choice. The Internet and broadband market is expected to receive a boost from the arrival of two new fibre optic submarine cables in 2008/09 which will dramatically reduce the cost of international bandwidth. Overall penetration in all sectors of Senegal’s telecom market is still low, resulting in attractive opportunities for new entrants.
