Telecommunication for Business in Africa is a collection of studies on policy and regulation for the communications sector, as well as on telecommunication solutions and information services designed for economic actors in sub-Saharan Africa. This limitative angle on business solutions and services, which however impact strongly on economic performance, is the unique characteristic of this volume. The studies presented are based on original research across Africa and include detailed country case studies. Telecommunication for Business in Africa documents opportunities offered by today's communities of investors, systems integrators and concept designers, aiming to empower both small and large business and making Africa more competitive. Telecom Forum Africa (Kenya), the initiators of this publication, is a research and investment promotion organization.

A modern telecommunications network is an essential infrastructure for the world's developing nations. The emergence of new technologies, the entrance of supra-national carriers, and deregulation in the telecommunications sector have resulted in the globalization of telecommunications and the opening of markets on every continent. Collecting the work of 19 expert contributors, this book provides a comprehensive examination of what African countries are doing to build their telecommunications capabilities. Africa has historically lagged behind other regions in developing its telecommunications infrastructure, and the penetration rate for basic service is still relatively low. But as some African nations undergo restructuring, they have begun to open their networks to foreign investors and regional cooperative ventures to expand basic and advanced telecommunications services. The contributors discuss the uneven pace of economic, regulatory, and social change among African nations as state telecommunications monopolies maintain their hold in some countries and give way to privatization in others. Analyzing the political and economic changes of the 1990s, the contributors provide clues about how Africa can shake off decades of inertia and prepare to take part in the global information economy. Edited by an internationally recognized authority on telecommunications, this volume is the latest in a series that surveys telecommunications in the major regions of the world. Thorough and accessible, it is a valuable resource for students and scholars in the areas of communications, economics, regulatory law, telecommunications engineering, and African studies, as well as telecommunications professionals and policy makers.

Winner of the 2014 EFMD competition for best African business case. In the 1990s, two entrepreneurs made daring, early entries into mobile telecommunications in Sub-Saharan Africa, both seeing great market opportunities there. One firm, Adesemi, would ultimately go bankrupt. The other firm, Celtel, would ultimately succeed and make its founder, Mo Ibrahim, a star of the global business community. Why the difference in outcome? Emerging markets often present weak rule of law, bringing many challenges to business success; from the demand for bribes to regulatory obstacles, hold-up problems, and even civil war. This case explores strategies that can limit these critical non-market risks in foreign direct investment and entrepreneurship. Students will step into the shoes of both companies by exploring their entry strategies, wrestling with the challenges they faced, and diagnosing the reasons why a shared insight about a new business opportunity turned out to be prescient; and led to extremely different endpoints. - Identify key challenges to successful entrepreneurship in emerging markets - Evaluate government officials or competitors that might trigger regulatory obstacles or hold-up problems - Evaluate potential allies that can help avoid these problems - Assess strategies to avoid paying bribes - Understand the importance of incentive alignment in directing investment success, even in the face of difficult challenges - Identify and appraise the strategic value of partnerships with development agencie.

The South African telecommunications industry is at a crucial stage in its technological development, facing choices that will have long-term effects on private consumers and large-scale industry alike. In The crossed line, David Kaplan examines the development of the telecommunications industry in South Africa and, sometimes controversially, discusses the problems that have beset it. In analyzing the factors which will determine its future structure and operations, he turns to comparative studies of the industry in a number of countries. The book provides a critique of the public communications network administered by the South African Post Office. It also explains the workings of the local industry which supplies equipment to the telecommunications network. Kaplan substantiates his text with data, tables and many interviews. The information he provides is pertinent and detailed enough to remain valuable for reference purposes.

Volume 1 looks at the introduction, adoption, and utilization of ICTs at the community level. In various contexts -- geographical, technological, socioeconomic, cultural, and institutional -- the book explores the questions of community participation. It looks at how communities in sub-Saharan Africa have reacted to the changes brought about by the introduction of these new ICTs and, in detail, presents both the opportunities and the challenges that ICTs present for community development. The book will be useful for both researchers and development practitioners active, or just embarking upon, an "ICT for development" program. It will also be a very useful reference tool not only for academics but also for policymakers, decision-makers, and development professionals interested in the issue.
