Webinar on brand intelligence trends and insights in telecommunications in South Africa

According to a report by Cable.co.uk, a UK price comparison website which compared 228 countries by mobile bandwidth pricing, South Africa was ranked at 148 and was among the most expensive countries for mobile data. ITWeb senior journalist, Samuel Mungadze, further writes that following investigations, the Competition Commission recommended that MTN and Vodacom reduce their mobile data pricing by half.

Telecommunications, broadband and general affordable access to the internet are said to have the ability to improve business and create jobs. According to Makhtar Diop, the World Bank’s Vice President for Infrastructure, Africa’s working-age population is expected to increase by some 450 million people between 2015 and 2035 where affordable internet access will mean creating millions of job opportunities.

  • Melody Maker, Digital Partner at M&C Saatchi Abel;

  • Samuel Mungadze, a Senior Journalist at ITWeb.
