Abstract

In many of the 17 countries in this review, the national objectives of achieving universal and affordable access to the full range of communications services have been undermined by: poor policies constraining market entry and the competitive allocation of available resources; weak institutional arrangements and lack of technical capacity and competencies; and, in some instances, regressive taxes on usage. Broadband is almost absent on the continent. Research ICT Africa is a not-for-profit public interest ICT policy and regulation research network based in Cape Town, South Africa. The network consists of 18 African countries, and the national sector performance reviews lead by the network members.
