operators – companies that piggyback off the networks of mobile infrastructure providers – will double their market share in the next two to three years, according to a new report.
There is growing interest in corporate South Africa in launching MVNOs. The mobile operators, driven by requirements imposed on them by communications regulator Icasa in the recent spectrum auction, are also starting to open their networks to third-party players. For a long time, Cell C was the only enabler of MVNOs, but it has recently been joined by MTN and Vodacom.
BMIT CEO Christopher Geerdts said large banks and retailers have entered the market and introduced “exciting crossover products to add greater value for customers”. The imminent entry of Vodacom will result in a race between the mobile operators to cement long-term, focused, strategic partnerships
