Il faut que tu différencies entre utilisateurs internet et abonnés internet.
sur cette liste, il s'agissait d’abonnés internet.

fb youtube dial up.. what else ?

Why don't you guys, instead of your remarks, just go and chek for us the latest numbers of SUBSCRIBERS (NOT INTERNET USERS) on the web site of your communications authority to maintain the list more up to date ?

According to latest stats, there is 14,5 million internet users from Morocco in 2010.
It's pretty much half of our population (32 millions).

[xAbd0o]

In the beginning, Dr. Amr Badawi CEO of the NTRA reiterated that the Internet is considered the topic of the hour especially after recent events in Egypt. He announced that there are over 24 million internet users in Egypt according to the latest ministry statistics. As for broadband users, he revealed that they had reached 1.5 million subscribers, while USB subscribers reached 1.8 million. He unveiled the ministry’s plan to spread broadband by 2020 under an initiative titled “E-Masr”. He announced that a final draft of the plan will be announced by June 2011.

thats 3.3million

euh what is that ? USB subscribers ? why it's not considered as broadband ? Cause 3G USB that i know is broadband.

[xAbd0o]

erm, the guy was talking in Cairo ICT. Geeks stuff you know

[reda2casa]

I've no problem with ICT, i'm on the field.. and the only explanation i can have is that those USb aren't broadband.. therefor.. you know

[xAbd0o]

how the hell can y have a USB that's not broadband. are you nuts? LOL.

[reda2casa]

I actually think you are the one..

As for broadband users, he revealed that they had reached 1.5 million subscribers, while USB subscribers reached 1.8 million.

As this clairly assumes broadband subscription (which had reached 1.5 million) is one thing and USB subscription is another thing.

That's what pushed me to ask why this USB isn't considered broadband?
But you answered me, that's a geek thing and you haven't any glue..
So i highly suggest you kid, to look for a serious explanation or if you can't, just help us with some silence.

Updated stats for Tanzania below:

Number of Tanzania Internet users is 5 million

Tuesday, 03 January 2012 21:10

By Ludger Kasumuni
The Citizen Reporter
Dar es Salaam. Tanzania, with an estimate population of 42 million people, now has 11 per cent of Internet users, according to the latest report issued by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA).

The report shows that as of October 2010, around 4.8 million Tanzanians had access to the Internet up from 1.6 million users in 2005. Out of the current figure, 2,663,200 were institutional users, 1,932,816 were households or individual users and 260,280 Internet café users.

In East Africa, in terms of Internet usage, Kenya is ahead of the other member states with 10.2 million users as at 2010, while Uganda had 4.1 million users by the same year. This is according to the Kenya Communication Commission and Uganda Communication Commission data respectively.

According to a research funded by TCRA, the number of Tanzanians using the internet for communication purposes has been on the rise, particularly as wireless facilities get cheaper with incoming mobile phone handsets.

Currently, official figures of mobile phone subscribers stand at 19 million.
“Mobile wireless is leading by 45 per cent, followed by fixed wireless. The Internet usage is now becoming a popular means of communication option next to voice telephone for many people in Tanzania,” reads part of the report.

Figures released by TCRA show that the country has 2,206,480 mobile wireless internet users, 1,514,580 users of fixed wireless and 471,524 users of VSAT, 388,176 users of other broadband and 269,536 cable users.

The summary of TCRA findings indicates that out of 68 application services licencees only 46 (67 per cent) were found operating, 20 of them (30per cent) could not be traced and two or three per cent were not operating. Out of 46 operational licences, only 38 (83 per cent) of them provide internet services, the rest provide other services like voice network design, data (SMS and MMS), website hosting and website designing, according to the findings

Executive Summary

The Broadbanding of a Continent

Large parts of Africa gained access to international fibre bandwidth for the first time via submarine cables in 2009 and 2010. In other parts of the continent, additional fibre systems have brought competition to a previously monopolised market. More cables are expected to go online in 2011. This has led to massive investments into terrestrial fibre backbone infrastructure to take the new bandwidth to population centres in the interior and across borders into landlocked countries.

Africa’s Internet and broadband sector is set to benefit the most from these developments. Wholesale prices for Internet bandwidth have come down by as much as 90% from previous levels based on satellite access, and the cost savings are slowly being passed on to the retail level as well. Broadband is rapidly replacing dial-up as the preferred access method, and this process is already virtually completed in the continent's more developed markets.

Most African countries now have commercial DSL services, but their growth is limited by the poor geographical reach of the fixed-line networks. Improvements in Internet access have therefore been mostly confined to the capital cities so far. However, the rapid spread of mobile data and third-generation (3G) broadband services is changing this, with the mobile networks bringing Internet access to many areas outside of the main cities for the first time.

Many fixed-line incumbents have reacted by rolling out fixed-wireless access networks to expand their geographical reach. The technology of choice has been CDMA-2000 which supports broadband data rates with an upgrade to EV-DO standard. WiMAX technology, however, offers higher data rates and has gained ground in Africa with well over 100 networks already in operation.

Market highlights:
Key statistics for 38 African countries;
Profiles of major Internet service providers (ISP);
Overview of ADSL services with pricing comparisons;
Over 50 CDMA-2000 network rollouts in progress, many supporting EV-DO broadband;
Over 100 WiMAX networks in operation.

Top ten African Internet user communities – early-2010



Mobile data and third generation (3G) mobile broadband services are covered in a separate report: see African Mobile Broadband, Data and Mobile Media Market. These technologies are increasingly being used as a substitute for poor or non-existing fixed-line infrastructure in Africa. In vast parts of the continent, the mobile network operators are the only providers of any kind of telecommunication service apart from satellite services. As subscriber growth peaks, many of them have established themselves as ISPs and are playing an increasing role in the broadband sector, competing directly with fixed broadband services such as DSL – a welcome new revenue stream in an environment of shrinking average revenue per user (ARPU) in the voice market.

Executive Summary

SMS revenue share shrinking in favour of more advanced services

Wherever 3G mobile broadband services are deployed in sub-Saharan Africa, they quickly take over as the preferred means of access to the Internet, provided that a suitable backbone network is in place. DSL services offered by national telcos on their typically underdeveloped fixed-line networks are quickly reduced to niche market status, as are most traditional ISPs reselling these services or offering their own wireless access.

The extensive national network infrastructure of the mobile operators and their large user bases for voice services place them in a dominant market position for data services as well. The additional revenue is welcome in an environment of rapidly shrinking average revenue per user (ARPU) in the mobile voice market.

In many countries in the region, national fibre backbone networks are being rolled out, and new international submarine fibre optic cables along the continent’s East and West coast are providing the bandwidth needed to connect millions to the Internet, at much lower cost than previously when satellites were the only option. In many cases the mobile operators are building their own fibre backbones under converged licensing regimes.

North Africa has traditionally been in a slightly better position in terms of fixed networks, but even here mobile broadband is quickly outgrowing other access methods. Mobile broadband prices are often comparable to fixed broadband offerings or at least not far behind. In Morocco, Africa’s most penetrated DSL market with some of the lowest prices on the continent, 3G mobile broadband jumped from virtually zero to over 40% of all connections within two years after its 2007 launch and made up almost 75% by the end of 2010.

Using HSPA+ technology, up to 21Mb/s are currently being offered by 3G mobile operators in Africa. The first LTE trials on the continent are currently being carried out by operators in South Africa and Kenya with up to 150Mb/s theoretical downlink speed and 100Mb/s uplink.

In Kenya, the government has announced that it may wish to follow an open-access approach with LTE, licensing an independent company to operate a network from which service providers would then lease capacity. Unlike many other LTE test networks around the world, the operators in both South Africa and Kenya are using their existing 3G spectrum in the 2.1GHz band for the trials while awaiting the allocation of other frequencies.

In the continent’s most advanced markets, m-commerce, mobile content, applications and media have reached a level of development that is beginning to foster an associated advertising and marketing industry.

Mobile data revenue in South Africa had already reached around 13% of total mobile revenue but then fell back slightly to around 10% in 2010 due to price reductions. SMS still represents the bulk of mobile data revenue, but its share has declined in favour of mobile broadband services to about 60%.

In Kenya, the leading operator Safaricom’s SMS revenue has been overtaken by revenues from its M-Pesa mobile banking service. Total mobile data revenue almost doubled to more than US$200 million in the twelve months to March 2010 (representing 19% of total revenues) of which M-Pesa represented 48%, SMS 33% and mobile broadband 19%. Safaricom has announced it aims to have 25% of its revenue coming from data services within two years.

Markets highlights:
W-CDMA-based 3G mobile networks have been launched in more than half of all African countries, with rollouts in progress in many others;
Most operators have included High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) mobile broadband in their service offerings, providing up to 21Mb/s;
Operators in South Africa and Kenya are carrying out the first LTE trials on the continent;
Another 3G technology, CDMA2000 1x EV-DO has been deployed in around 30 African countries, offering up to 3Mb/s;
There are significantly more 3G mobile broadband users than DSL subscribers in key African markets;
New international fibre optic cables and national backbone networks support broadband growth;
African mobile operators make up to 19% of their revenues with mobile data services;
Mobile data services have helped to reverse declining average revenue per user (ARPU) in some markets;
Revenues from mobile banking services have overtaken SMS revenue for Kenya’s leading operator.

Executive Summary

Mobile data and broadband technologies are increasingly being used as a substitute for poor or non-existent fixed-line infrastructure in Africa. In vast parts of the continent, the mobile network operators are the only providers of any kind of telecommunication service apart from satellite services. As subscriber growth peaks, many of them have established themselves as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and are playing an increasing role in the broadband sector, competing directly with fixed broadband services such as DSL – a welcome new revenue stream in an environment of shrinking average revenue per user (ARPU) in the voice market.



Third generation (3G) mobile technologies, coupled with improvements in international fibre and national backbone network infrastructure are now capable of delivering broadband Internet access to a wider part of the continent’s close to one billion population. However, the price of end user devices will be a key factor. The prepaid mass market will only adopt advanced services on a broad scale once prices for 3G handsets and modems as well as personal computers have reached affordable levels.



Like elsewhere in the world, Short Message Service (SMS) still accounts for the bulk of Africa’s mobile data traffic and revenue, but in recent years there has also been an increasing interest in Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and other forms of mobile messaging and social media, downloads of ring tones, logos, music and games, as well as SMS-based information and lifestyle services. Premium rate and bulk SMS services are generating millions in revenues. Third parties are continuously developing new value-added services and applications.



Mobile TV services have been launched in at least ten African countries. A boost for these services is expected from the FIFA World Cup to be hosted in South Africa in 2010.



M-payments and mobile banking is another key growth area that is revolutionising Africa's financial sector, where only a small percentage of the population has access to traditional banking system. In the continent’s most advanced markets, m-commerce, mobile content, applications and media have reached a level of development that is beginning to foster an associated advertising and marketing industry.

This list gets all the more funnier in light of this:

Vodacom revenues up 12.2%: Q3 trading statement
February 8, 2012

Vodacom announced a 12.2% increase in overall group revenue for the quarter ended December 2011

Mobile operator Vodacom announced on Wednesday (8 February 2012) a 12.2% rise in overall group revenue for the quarter ended December 2011, to R17.997 billion.

The group also highlighted record net customer additions of 5.0 million in the quarter, with group customers up 27.3% to 52.9 million.

Vodacom noted a 41.2% increase in group active data customers to 13.8 million and data revenue increased 23.8% to R2.082 billion.

Equipment revenue was particularly strong, growing 19.4%, the group said.

South Africa delivered a solid performance with service revenue growing 5.6% to R12.755 billion (7.9% excluding the impact of cuts in mobile termination rates).

Customers increased 25.4% year on year to 31.7 million, a record net increase of 2.8 million in the quarter.

Service revenue growth was boosted by strong net customer additions, higher voice revenue growth and good performance in data and enterprise services.

South African data revenue growth slowed to 19.3% year on year to R1.929 billion. “The active data customers increased 31.5% to 11.4 million; a third of these customers are now buying data bundles compared to a quarter a year ago,” Vodacom said.

The group said that demand for smartphones remains high, with 655,000 devices activated during the quarter. “We now have 4.8 million active smartphones on the network, which as of 31 December 2011 accounted for 18.0% of all active devices.”

Pieter Uys, Vodacom Group CEO commented: “This was a good quarter for Vodacom, with a record increase in our customers of five million pushing us past the 50 million customers milestone. Overall Group revenue increased 12% to R18 billion.

“The South African business defied the somewhat gloomy economic conditions and achieved a 25% increase in customers, ending the quarter at 32 million customers. More than nine billion voice minutes were carried over the three month period.

“The success of our summer campaigns, targeted promotions and very attractive handset deals boosted customer additions, particularly in the rural areas.

“The strong growth in customers and data usage helped offset the year to date reduction of 16% in both voice and data prices.

“Our International operations maintained the positive momentum and accounted for more than 40% of the increase in our total customers.

“Network investment continued to be a major focus with on-going upgrades to our transmission and radio access networks supporting the 41% increase in group data customers. Vodacom now delivers data connectivity to nearly 14 million people,” he said.

SA, Africa's largest economy, is falling behind other countries on the continent when it comes to the number of people who have access to the Internet.
That is according to the latest Internet World Stats figures on connectivity rates in Africa.
Internet World Stats' research, which was completed in December, says Nigeria tops Africa at 45 million Internet users, while Egypt, Morocco and Kenya, respectively, follow the West African nation with 21.7 million, 15.7 million and 10.6 million people being connected.
SA ranks fifth, with 6.8 million people with access to the Internet, ahead of Tanzania which has 4.9 million Internet users.
World Wide Worx MD Arthur Goldstuck says SA's low Internet connectivity rate, as compared to Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and Kenya, is as a result of the country's smaller population size of 50 million people.
SA ranks fifth, with 6.8 million people with access to the Internet, ahead of Tanzania which has 4.9 million Internet users.
World Wide Worx MD Arthur Goldstuck says SA's low Internet connectivity rate, as compared to Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and Kenya, is as a result of the country's smaller population size of 50 million people.
Nigeria, for instance, has a population of 150 million people, while Egypt has 80 million people.

“It is fair to say South Africa is falling behind, but it is beginning to claw its way back,” says Goldstuck. “In the medium term, we are likely to overtake Morocco, but in the long term will be overtaken by Ethiopia and possibly even the Democratic Republic of Congo.”
The report also says Africa's total number of Internet users has increased dramatically since 2000, from having 4.5 million connected users in that year to 139 875 242 at the end of 2011.
Falling international connectivity costs in Africa and the rapid uptake of both smartphones and ordinary phones that allow Web browsing and data applications are two key factors that have driven up Internet usage in Africa, says Goldstuck.
However, despite the rise in Internet users on the continent, Internet World Stats says Africa still has the world's lowest Internet penetration rate at 13.5%.

Yip, especially on the number of computers/household. Alot of people still rely on cell phones/work/cyber to browse. I am hoping with the increasing middle class, the number of people having computers at home, and by extension having internet connection will rise rapidly. But I have no worries as far as ICT is concerned in Kenya, we are definitely on the right track.
