The purpose of this page is to give readers of Africa Telecoms a brief overview or snapshot of the Telecoms and ICT markets in Africa. Over time, Africa Telecoms plans to track development and growth data in the African ICT marketplace. Each Edition of Africa Telecoms will be focused on a specific area. This month we present statistics relating to Private Public Partnerships (PPPs). We trust that you will find this information of value and interest. Should you have access to any statistics that you feel would add value to these pages, the Africa Telecoms team would appreciate an e-mail on bshaw@3ipublishing.co.za.
