Algeria - Telecoms Market Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
and available in the Subscriber Archive
Number of Pages: 26
Algeria’s mobile market exceeded all expectations when it continued to grow by around 200% four years in a row and soared past the 65% penetration mark. The country’s fixed-line market lags behind the other relatively affluent North African countries, and its second operator is considering to exit the market again after only one year of operations, claiming unfair competition. Accelerated developments can be expected from 2007 onwards resulting from the upcoming privatisation of the country’s incumbent telco, the award of 3G mobile licences, the expansion of wireless broadband networks and VoIP Internet telephony services. Algeria has some of the lowest ADSL prices in Africa, an extensive national and international fibre backbone network, and a FttH pilot project.
