02 may 2009 - Africa's rapid mobile Internet growth continues
The number of people across Africa using a mobile cell phone to access the Internet has increased exponentially in the last year. The number of mobile Internet subscribers throughout Africa outstrips the number of fixed line internet users.
By the end of 2008, South Africa had 1.35 million Internet subscribers, of which, according to World Wide Worx, 794,000 were wireless Internet subscribers and 588,000 were fixed line subscribers.
In Uganda, UCC’s 2008 year end figures for show 214,293 mobile Internet users, up from 166,621 just three months earlier, which compares to just 22,000 fixed line subscribers. In late 2008 in Tanzania there were 600,000 mobile internet subscribers and just over 70,000 fixed line Internet subscribers.
This trend is set to increase through 2009 and 2010.
