Digital is taking over Digital services are taking centre stage as Africa’s telecommunications market continues to mature, encompassing the provision of digital music & content, digital financial services, app stores, feature phone ‘apps’, cloud services, B2B digital services, e-learning & e-gov services for the wider public, and more! Clearly, this segment is forming an important and growing part of the telco’s remit, and can be a crucial revenue stream.

Customers are increasingly demanding of digital services – mobile communication alone is no longer enough. New partnerships are needed with growing players such as content owners, developers, aggregators and solutions suppliers, to name a few. The Digital Services Africa event represents a crucial networking and learning platform, providing players in the digital Africa a unique opportunity to drive their business forward.

Digital is taking over fast, and industry players need to reflect this in their business strategies now.
