“Fibre network operators are combining renewed investment with constant innovation as they move rapidly ‘down the pyramid’ to next-tier towns and customer affordability segments in an intensive ‘land grab’, supported by healthy household uptake rates,” says the market analyst firm.While Vumatel made the largest individual contribution, BMIT says Openserve expanded its fibre capex massively in the past two years, with a doubling in the financial year to March 2022.
Vumatel pioneered FTTH in SA and has since connected thousands of homes across Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban to broadband internet. Vumatel has 1.5 million homes passed, with at least a future two million anticipated in emerging markets.by Vodacom that it had moved to acquire a strategic stake in Dark Fibre Africa and Vumatel and roll them into a new Infraco company, in which it will also incorporate its own fibre assets.
While traditional mobile virtual network operator models exist in this market, notably from Cell C and MTN, BMIT is seeing new wholesale models emerging, one of which more closely resembles a form of “naked bitstream” service. It also notes that mobile facilities sharing and MVNO services will see a growth of 4.8% CAGR, largely due to increased passive sharing as mobile operators carve out their tower assets, as MTN has already done to a large extent by virtue of the 2021 deal in which it sold 5 700 towers to IHS.
The market analyst firm states that cross-connection and cloud onramp services are key enablers of the rapidly growing cloud services market.
