National Broadband Plans in Africa and Middle East – Status, Strategies, and Objectives a new Telecom Insider Report by GlobalData, provides an overview of the national broadband plans (NBP) adopted by the governments in Africa and the Middle East and of the key strategies and mechanisms deployed to help achieve the targets set by the NBPs.
The insider report 'National Broadband Plans – Status, Strategies, and Objectives in Africa & the Middle East' offers an overview of the efforts taken by governments in Africa & The Middle East (AME) to develop broadband infrastructure. It delivers comprehensive proprietary data and insights from our research into NBPs adopted by AME countries. This presentation-quality report provides an analysis of governments’ initiatives and operators' involvement in broadband infrastructure development. It also analyzes the key mechanisms and strategies deployed to support the NBPs.
The report provides in-depth analysis of the following –
– Regional market context providing FBB progress and analyzing the impact of economic development on broadband penetration in several Africa & Middle East countries.
– Analysis of the priorities set under NBPs such as targets, technologies, funding mechanisms, and the role of governments as well as private operators. This section also provides the strategies that a number of countries have adopted to realize the objectives set by the NBPs and a summary of the key mechanisms harnessed to support NBPs (e.g., in terms of ecosystem players involvment, partnership models and structures, funding mechanisms, incentives, and supporting policies and regulations).
– Case studies on two countries’ (Nigeria and Kenya) NBPs with a focus on the analysis of targets, goals, government initiatives, operators’ involvement, and progress over the period.
– Key findings, detailing the analysis of NBPs on several parameters such as targets, funding strategies, preferred technologies, and strategies adopted by governments to achieve the targets.
Scope
– The region features significant differences in broadband penetration levels among countries in AME owing to differences in the income levels and the maturity of telecom sector.
– AME countries are mainly targeting to improve broadband penetration nationally, and to reduce the digital divide by improving broadband connectivity in rural areas.
– Several countries with low broadband penetration are targeting to provide broadband coverage with relatively lower speeds in the short term, however, long-term targets include the provision of broadband services with faster speeds.
– Funding of NBPs poses challenges in several AME countries. In addition to providing direct funds from budgets and universal service funds, governments have been encouraging private investments with the help of regulatory reforms that reduce barriers to entry and encourage infrastructure sharing.
– It is quite common in the region for countries to deploy a combination of fixed and mobile broadband technologies as part of their NBPs.
Reasons to Buy
– Develop an understating of national broadband plans through the analysis of targets, technologies, governmental support, operator roles, and funding strategies.
– Get best practices around he key mechanisms and supporting initiatives that can be harnessed to achieve national broadband plan targets.
– The report also provides a five-year forecast of the fixed broadband market in several Africa & Middle East countries, developed using GlobalData'a rigorous bottom-up modelling methodologies, to enable executives to effectively position their companies for growth opportunities and emerging trends in demand.
– Two case studies illustrate the findings of the report, providing insights, success factors, and best practices from specific country NBPs; this will help executives understand both the challenges confronted in the real world and the strategies employed to overcome those challenges.
– Gain understanding of government goals and initiatives to make informed decisions pertaining to investments in broadband networks and technologies and optimize return on investments.
