The last place on earth that one would think holds mobile subscribers would be Africa and apparently one region over there has over 61 million subscribers. The region in focus is Nigeria which has now surpassed South Africa as the largest mobile telecom market in Africa, and continued growth over the next five years is expected to trigger more intense competition among a growing number of network operators, according to a new report from Pyramid Research (www.pyr.com), the telecom research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network (www.lightreading.com).

“Communications Markets in Nigeria” offers a complete analysis of the country’s converged telecommunications, media, and technology sectors based on exclusive and proprietary data from Pyramid’s research in the Nigerian market.

The 28-page report provides detailed competitive analysis of both the fixed and mobile sectors, tracks the market shares of technologies and services, and monitors the introduction and spread of new technologies such as WiMax, IPTV, and VoIP. The study offers a detailed forecast of the Nigerian communications market by analyzing key trends, evaluating near-term opportunities, and assessing upcoming risks factors.
