24-25 June 2014, Maslow Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa
Informa Telecoms & Media are announcing the third annual event in Africa dedicated specifically to the MVNO market, covering the latest launches and most important trends for those aware that this regional market, often regarded as "the waiting game", should be on their watch list for the moment when it finally takes off on a larger scale.
With presentations and debates including African and international players in the MVNO ecosystem, such as Orange Horizons in South Africa, Tuenti Movil in Spain, K2 Telecom in Uganda, Azur Telecom in Congo, Sonatel in Senegal, Nigerian Communications Commission and much more, the 2014 programme pinpoints the key issues in Africa which need to be resolved in order to stimulate the growth of potential and existing MVNOs:
• What are the alternative solutions when the regulatory framework is reluctant to pave the way for MVNOs?
• Who has done what, and which lessons can they share, since the last MVNOs Industry Summit in Africa?
• How can African MVNOs make the most of VAS, such as mobile payments and social media?
• Where are the opportunities arising, in terms of regions, regulation, MVNO business models and target markets?
What else is NEW in 2014?
