Growing Internet Use and ICT in Tanzania
28 May 2010
Tanzania has two fixed-line operators (TTCL and Zantel) and seven operational mobile networks, with five additional players licensed under a new converged regulatory regime. With four major operators (Vodacom, Zain, Tigo and Zantel) the mobile market is expected to break the 50% penetration barrier during 2010, but subscriber growth is expected to slow to 20%. At the same time, the average revenue per user (ARPU) continues to fall.
At the moment the cost of a brand new personal computer vacillates between a low of $5 million and a high of up to $12 million, depending on the brand of the machine.This year government reduced the import duty on computer hardware from 15 percent to 5 percent, a happening Nkala and other experts in the field, hoped would lead to computers becoming considerably cheaper and easier to acquire.
Some cafés like the Quick n’ Easy Internet Cafe company, which has three well-run and popular outlets in Harare, have designed customer friendly packages that allow subscribers to become members. Members pay subscriptions of 10 hours or more in advance and they then enjoy special discount rates and more surfing time.

Tanzania Telecommunications, Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Report
Tanzania’s economy has been showing solid growth rates of between 5% and 8% every year since 2000. The International Monetary Fund predicts only a moderate decline of GDP growth to 5% in 2009 as a result of the global economic crisis, before 7% and more will be achieved again from 2011 onwards. Mining and tourism are main industry sectors. However, the country continues to suffer from underdeveloped infrastructure, including roads, railways, electricity and telecommunications.

Tanzania e-Commerce Background
May 28, 2010
The landing of the first fibre optic international submarine cables in the country in 2009 and 2010 is set to revolutionise the market which up to that point completely depended on expensive satellite connections. In parallel, the government has embarked on a national fibre backbone rollout to connect population centres around the country. However, the cost of international Internet bandwidth has so far not come down by as much and not as quickly as expected.
