Research and Markets: Uganda - Convergence, Broadband & Internet Markets

Tools

Posted July 20, 2010

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4bfd1c/uganda_convergen) has announced the addition of the "Uganda - Convergence, Broadband & Internet Markets" report to their offering.

Uganda was one of the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa to gain full Internet connectivity. Both fixed-line operators, Uganda Telecom and MTN Uganda, offer a range of data services including ISDN, ADSL and local and international leased lines. Several Internet Service Providers are offering wireless broadband access using a variety of technologies, including WiMAX. Strong growth in the number of cybercafes and other public access facilities has helped to increase Internet awareness and usage. Now individual Internet subscription is on the rise, fuelled by wireless, mobile data and 3G broadband services. A new competition framework has liberalised VoIP Internet telephony, and the arrival of international submarine fibre optic cables at the African east coast for the first time in 2009/10 will dramatically reduce the cost of international bandwidth and enable converged voice, data and video/entertainment services.
