DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Ghana
– Fixed Broadband Market – Statistics and Analyses” report has
been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Ghana has a highly competitive internet market, with more than 140
licensed ISPs although most subscribers are customers of only a few
operators. The country was among the first in Africa to be connected to
the internet, though subscriber growth in the sector was for many years
held back by the poor condition of the national fixed-line network and
by the high cost of connectivity.
Improvements to international and terrestrial cable infrastructure has
helped drive down the cost of access, while the government has helped
fund schemes to extend coverage of telecom services nationally. This has
seen extensions to fibre infrastructure in the Eastern and Western
Corridors in recent years, as well as a new cable connecting to Burkina
Faso operated by Vodafone Wholesale.
Key Developments:
- Facebook and Vodafone Ghana launch Express Wi-Fi program;
