3. BACKGROUND
Arrival of Undersea Cabling in Africa 2009
● The arrival of undersea
capacity to African
shores in 2009
triggered a wave of
terrestrial fibre build
out in Africa
● The growth of
undersea fibre optic
capacity has been a
catalyst for change
● The impact of
technological change
often takes years to
manifest
● Fibre has turned up
the pressure on
regulators to make
more wireless
spectrum available.

4. South Africa’s vibrant mobile market has seen rapid growth since
competition was introduced in the 1990’s.
• Sim card penetration by early 2015 was above 150%, driven by the
popularity of multiple card use.
• The network operators are increasingly encouraged to find
innovative ways to distinguish themselves from competitors, and to
streamline operators.
• There has been continuing activity with mergers and acquisitions,
while major infrastructure sharing deals have helped keep control
costs while improving network foot prints.
• Several additional MVNOs have entered the market recently, adding
to the competitive mix.
• To encourage competition, the government created Broadband
IntraCo as a national infrastructure company to provide cheap
backbone network capacity.
• Vodacom and MTN have also mnoved into the national fibre sector,
as have many municipalities.
• Several prominent FttP deployments are underway.
• Cheaper International connectivity and new national fibre
infrastructure have stimulated the broadband market.
• The sector is dominated by mobile network operators, while several
WiMAX networks have been shut down as consumers migrate to 3G
and LTE networks for connectivity.
BACKGROUND
South African Digital Switch over decision 2006

5. South Africa retains one of the continents most
advanced Telecoms infrastructure.
• It enjoys effective competition in all sectors, while
operators in recent years have invested to
develop cross platform capabilities and so offer a
full range of bundled services.
• Sweeping liberalisation measures have changed
the country’s telecoms landscape fundamentally,
and resulted in lower prices for consumers.
• This has been encouraged by the end of
Telkoms monopoly on international submarine
fibre optic cables, which dramatically reduced the
cost of telecom services.
• South Africa's second national operator, Neotel
has gained market share in competition with
Telkom. In the process of being acquired by
Vodacom, the company is set top provide an
improved platform for mobile fixed-line services.
BACKGROUND
South African Key Developments
• Telkom makes R2,7 Billion bid for BCX
• Work begins on the Modderfontein Smart City
development;
• Constatia Fibre Initiative (CFI) to build an open
access FttP network in Cape Town;
• Vodacom to take over Neotel, contracts
Aslcatel-Lucent to build GPON network;
• MTN launches FrontRow SVoD service
• Vox Telecom owners cancel plans to sell;
• Vumatel extends open-access network offering
1Gb/s services
• Nashua Mobile winds down, sells subscriber
base to Vodacom and MTN;
• Vodacom launches VoLTE services; Afrihost
launches fixed wireless LTE.

6. An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or
plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. Optical fibers are
used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber
and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit
transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than
electrical cables. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel
along them with less loss. Optical fiber is used as a medium for
telecommunication and computer networking because it is flexible and can be
bundled as cables.
It is especially advantageous for long-distance communications, because light
propagates through the fiber with much lower attenuation compared to electrical
cables. This allows long distances to be spanned with few repeaters.
WHY FIBRE?
Fibre is future proof infrastructure
• Fibre is green…since glass is made of
sand (there is plenty of sand) – no more
mining for copper.
• Fibre does not get affected by electrical
interference.
• Fibre does not have a street value and is
not likely to be stolen.
• Quality of service
• Creation of new industries
• All technologies rely on fibre…high
speed wireless, 4G (LTE) mobile
backhaul, FTTB, FTTH;
• In order to serve the needs of the future,
fibre will play a critical role as an enabler
of bigger bandwith speeds;
• Attract international companies which
will need high bandwith speeds to
conduct their business globally.

7. This network expansion has brought new towns, cities and countries within the reach of fibre optic
networks for the first time. Since 2010, 76 million more people are now within 10km’s, 150 million
within 25km, and 205 million people are within a 50km reach of an operational fibre network mode.

8. Inventory of Terrestrial Transmission Networks, Africa
Africa’s inventory of
terrestrial fibre optic
networks has more than
doubled in the last five
years.
Since June 2009, an
average of 154km’s of
new fibre network
enters service per day
across Africa.

9. FIBRE CATERS FOR A DIVERSE AND DYNAMIC MARKET

10. Digital Broadcasting has
Transformed home entertainment with Ftth

11. CURRENT SITUATION
• Crude regulatory landscape;
• Large amounts of fibre being
deployed to serve mobile
backhaul;
• Projects are not delivered on
time;
• Processes and procedures for
acquiring RoW are slow and
cumbersome;
• Red tape means delays, which
means loss of revenues;
• Low levels of private sector
investment because of
uncertainty in telecoms sector.
UBIQUITOUS ACCESS
• Rural/ubiquitous connectivity depends on
• Communication, Communication,
Communication
• Reduced cost for way leaves, time scales,
project certainty.
• Mobile backhaul
• Electricity
• Green Field deployments
• Efficient policy
• Determine the role of government in providing
telecommunications
• Content…Uptake

12. STATE OWNED INFRASTRACTURE PARADOX
The internet is made of and made by people.
Government-run networks
tend to be inefficient and
less responsive to the
market.
The private sector is
better at managing the
asset but cannot be relied
on to push prices down.
More investment is
needed.

13. “Building digital Africa does
not rely on a single
telecommunications
medium…serving the people will
always rely on hybrid solutions of
mobile and fixed line technology.”
