South Africa’s telecommunications industry has undergone rapid shifts over the past few years, driven by increased smartphone usage and changing consumer preferences.
South Africa’s telecommunications industry has undergone many changes in the last few years, which is reflected in the results of some of South Africa’s largest telecommunications companies, like Telkom., which measured industry changes from 2019 to 2022. Stats SA explained several notable sectoral shifts during this period, reflecting broader economic changes.
“On a more granular level, mobile voice and mobile data were the largest contributors to mobile lines, with SMS services taking up a smaller portion,” Stats SA explained. Less than 4% of fixed broadband users in South Africa are still using digital subscriber line connections,In December 2023, Telkom reported a decrease in DSL services to approximately 82,000, the last-confirmed connections.
As of 31 December 2023, the fibre network operator had 567,350 homes connected to its fibre network, an increase of 97,794 from the 469,556 it had a year earlier.“Openserve’s connect-led strategy continued to deliver positive results with an increase of 19.5% in the number of homes connected to 615,430, resulting in a connectivity rate of 49.0%, which continues to be market-leading,” the company said.
