DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e377d8/uganda_mobile_ma) has announced the addition of the "Uganda - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.
The introduction of mobile telephony has revolutionised Uganda's telecommunications industry since Celtel (now Zain/Bharti) launched the first network in 1995, followed by MTN in 1998, Uganda Telecom in 2001, Warid Telecom in 2008 and HiTS Telecom, in which France Telecom's mobile unit Orange bought a majority stake in 2009. The intensified competition has led to an unsustainable price war which has accelerated subscriber growth but also the fall of average revenue per user. However, with market penetration still well below the African average, hundreds of millions of US dollars are being invested into new infrastructure. At the same time, the operators are trying to find ways of generating additional revenue streams. Mobile data and 3G broadband services as well as mobile money transfer and m-banking services are at the forefront of this development in a country where less than 20% of the population currently has Internet access or holds bank accounts.
