摘要
Executive summary
Sierratel to be privatised in dynamic market environment Following more than a decade of civil war, Sierra Leone has enjoyed peace, stability and rapid economic growth since 2002. The country’s traditional telecommunications infrastructure has suffered damage and neglect, but the mobile sector has experienced excellent growth with competition between five GSM networks. Some consolidation took place in 2008/09 when one network (Datatel) ceased operations and the market’s number two (Africell) acquired the number four (Tigo, operated by Millicom). The other players are Zain which was acquired by India’s Bharti Airtel in 2010, and Lebanese-owned Comium.
Two additional mobile licences have been issued to Cellcom and Libya’s LapGreen which was preparing an imminent launch under the name Ambitel GreenN in late 2010. Two other companies have been holding mobile licences since 2004 but haven’t rolled out services.
In addition, the state-owned fixed-line incumbent Sierratel has entered the mobile market with a CDMA2000 1x network which it uses to provide fixed-wireless access and broadband Internet services following an upgrade to the EV-DO standard, making it the first 3G mobile network in the country. Other 3G services have not yet been introduced.
Rapidly declining average revenue per user is forcing the mobile operators to improve their services, streamline their operations and create new revenue streams, such as Internet access via mobile data services. In this area they are competing with a large number of wireless broadband network operators that have emerged as providers of converged Internet and VoIP telephony services.
Sierratel’s monopoly on the international gateway was reinstated in a controversial regulatory move in 2007 but a review of this decision was announced in 2010. Capital from a strategic investor is needed to enable the company to compete effectively – a tender for its
privatisation was set in motion in July 2010. With assistance from the Indian government, Sierratel had already started to rehabilitate its fixed-line infrastructure and has taken first steps towards the rollout of a national fibre backbone network.
Depending entirely on satellites for international connections, without access to international fibre bandwidth, broadband services in Sierra Leone have remained extremely expensive, but this is expected to change when the first international fibre optic submarine cable reaches the country in 2011 or 2012.
Market highlights:
