Hinweis der Redaktion
- Let me start by giving you a status update on what the mobile industry has achieved to date: More than X billion people, 80+% of the world’s population, have access to mobile services 2.5 billion, x% of the worlds population people are currently connected The industry is adding more than 1 million subscribers per day and continuing to build out coverage By 2010 we expect more than 90% pupation coverage and more than x% penetration
- Employment: Last week Engineer Ernest Ndukwe said that the mobile industry in Nigeria employed more than 1 million people. Not bad for a country that only licensesd operators 5 years ago. Assuming that penetration is a key variable in calculating employment numbers, well there would be no jobs without subscribers, there may be more than 5.5 million Africans that are employed on this continent in this industry. Now let’s look at GDP. You may be familiar with Professor Waverman’s widely quoted findings that a 10% increase in mobile penetration can lead to a 0.59% increase in GDP in a typical developing economy. I believe this number to be extremely conservative. We just launched a study with McKinsey and they found that mobile contributed 7.5% of GDP in the Philippines, 4.5% in China and close to 2% in India. The higher GDP numbers are directly correlated with GDP; all stakeholder therefore should be incentivied to connect the unconnected. Mobile operators are also the top corporate tax payers and contribute additional funds through license fees, spectrum fees, number range fees etc. In this regard they contribute substantial sums to the national budget that can be put to wider use. Moreover mobile networks are being leveraged to provide data services to schools, universities and hospitals. SMS messages are frequently used to increase the effectiveness of health and programmes. And who would have thought it, but mobile operators are the largest ISPs. And mobile customers are benefiting from access to financial services for the first time as they use their mobile phone as a virtual bank. Higher mobile penetration really does increase the governance, social capital and economic activity of nations. I gave a similar presentation to the Minsters of Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania this summer. They each agreed with our position, calling the industry heroic, having done more for the poor than any charity. They also agreed that mobile is a democratic aid, eliminating many opportunities for corruption and vote rigging.

- In Africa, the story is equally, if not more, impressive. Population coverage has grown from about 10% in 1999 to over 60% today. In the same time period penetration has jumped from 1% to 18%. Some 350 million African have mobile coverage but remain unconnected.
- If we look at the cost of each of these networks in rural versus urban areas, the radio cost are about the same but transmission, power and distribution cost all increase exponentially the remote you go
- So how do USF perform? In the main, quite poorly. More than $6 billion dollars had been taken out of the industry with only $1.6 billion thus far returned. Mobile operators contributed 34% of the $6 billion and received back only 4% despite being the most efficient access technology according to the World Bank, 1/10 th the cost of fixed for example. Where is the other $4.5 or so billion? If the missing $4.5 billion was spent on increasing mobile coverage, as additional 450 million more people in rural areas would be covered.
- Our regulation study showed that best practise regulation would Increase sector investment by 25%, $5 billion – the sum of MTN and Celtel’s CapEx; Increase penetration by 30% And boost regional GDP by $1 bn
