摘要

Once referred to as the Pearl of Africa, then devastated by civil war, peace and radical economic reforms have transformed Uganda into one of the fastest-growing economies on the continent. The entry of a second national operator and three mobile networks has revolutionised the telecoms sector. All market segments are experiencing strong growth, while total teledensity is still low at less than 9%. Major initiatives have been launched to bring telecommunication services and the Internet to rural areas of the country, partly funded by the highly successful operators through a universal service fund. A new competition framework has been announced which will include the licensing of a third national operator, a fourth mobile operator and the liberalisation of VoIP telephony.
