Regional: Africa’s First MVNOs? (Part 1)
MVNOs have been a success story across most markets in the western hemisphere, however they are finding it increasingly difficult to crack one the world’s fastest growing regions—the African continent. Join Analyst Bigue Sagna as she assesses the challenging market dynamics of the African region which impede the success of MVNOs, yet continue to make Africa an attractive destination for most to attempt to enter.

Join Senior Analyst Taha Rangwala as he assesses the prospects of a third player entering Egypt’s highly profitable and under-penetrated mobile market that promises to be driven not only by demand and market forces but also by regulatory intervention and anti-competitive alliances.
