Research Findings Continues..
Swaziland is one of the last countries in the world to
abolish an almost complete monopoly in all sectors of its
telecommunications market: Until 2011 the state-owned
posts and telecommunications operator SPTC also acted
as the industry regulator and had a stake in the country’s
sole mobile network, in an uneasy partnership with South
Africa’s MTN.
Despite the lack of competition, mobile market
penetration in Swaziland has been well above the African
average, but subscriber growth has slowed in recent
years. The average revenue per user (APRU) is one of the
highest in Africa. Real competition is now required to take
the market to the next level.


Research Findings Continues..
The Internet sector has been open to competition with
four licensed Internet service providers (ISPs), but prices
have remained high and market penetration relatively
low. ADSL was introduced in 2008 and 3G mobile
broadband services in 2011, but development of the
sector has been hampered by the limited fixed-line
infrastructure and a lack of competition in the access and
backbone network. LTE fourth generation (4G) mobile
services are expected to be introduced in 2014.
Swaziland has a relatively well-developed fibre optic
backbone network. However, being landlocked, the
country depends on neighbouring countries for
international fibre bandwidth which has led to high
prices. Improvements have resulted from several new
submarine fibre optic cable systems that have reached the
region in recent years.


Key Developments:
Vodafone sells its stake in Verizon Wireless
Verizon’s LTE network providing 97% population coverage, FCC
proposes 800MHz spectrum licence changes
MetroPCS launches commercial VoLTE service
Verizon secures AWS spectrum from cablcos
Sprint closes iDEN network
LightSquared files for bankruptcy and ends LTE ambitions
FCC auctions H block spectrum in the 1900MHz band
Sprint acquires full ownership of Clearwire for $2.2 billion
MNOs swap spectrum assets
m-payment platform developments
FCC invites testing for migration from copper to fibre
infrastructure
new rules to shape e-health developments
WhiteFi launches using analogue TV spectrum
FCC issues ‘Gigabit City Challenge'
telcos’ operating and financial data to Q4 2013
market developments to early 2014
