Mozambique Telecom Industry – Merger of TdM with mCel on Cards

The poor fixed-line infrastructure has largely held back the market for fixed-line internet services, and as a result mobile internet accounts for most connections. The high cost of international bandwidth had long hampered internet use, though the landing of two international submarine cables (SEACOM and EASSy) has reduced the cost of bandwidth and so led to drastic reductions in broadband retail prices.

There is some cross-platform competition, with DSL, cable broadband, WiMAX, 3G and limited fibre broadband available. Further improvements can be expected from the ongoing rollout of a national fibre backbone networks by TdM and the mobile operators.

Key developments:

• Regulator imposes MTR cuts through to 2020;
• Almost five million unregistered SIM cards deactivated;
• Government proceeds with plan to merge struggling TdM with mCel;
• TdM contracts Intelsat for satellite broadband and backhaul services;
• Liquid Sea and Africa-1 submarine cable systems to improve bandwidth into 2018;
• Mozambique joins the Alliance for Affordable Internet, aiming to provide broadband at less than 5% of average monthly income;
• Report update includes the regulator’s market data for 2016, operator data updates to Q4 2017, ITU market data updates, Telecom Maturity Index tables, charts and analyses, recent market developments.
