Abstract

This sector performance review across 16 African countries is part of a multi-pronged research strategy undertaken by Research ICT Africa (RIA), a continent-wide ICT policy and regulation research network. It reveals linkages between policy, legal and regulatory frameworks, the arising market structures and their impact on consumers and users of telecommunications. The Telecommunications Regulatory Environment survey attempts to measure perceptions of all stakeholders of the key regulatory processes in each country. The report also provides a unique review of pricing regimes across the continent. Mobile telephony is the main means of voice communication in Africa.
