Orange Centrafrique and the Price of Keeping a Tower Alive
In Bangui, the price of a mobile connection is not only a tariff on a screen. It includes the fuel, security, cash liquidity, backhaul and repair discipline needed to keep a tower, a cash counter and a customer online in a country where grid power and road access cannot be…

Internet Solutions Mozambique and the Rent Between Maputo Capacity and Inland Resilience
Internet Solutions Mozambique matters because a Maputo business does not buy resilience from a submarine cable alone. It buys an accountable path between the landing capacity near the capital, the branch that still needs service after a fibre break or power event, and the…

Angola Cables and the hard price of a South Atlantic shortcut
Angola Cables owns one of the most interesting routing bets in the Atlantic: a path that can make Africa-to-Brazil traffic feel local, but only if wholesale buyers believe the cable, data-centre and interconnection stack is worth paying for despite Angolan currency, power…

Wan4u and the repair bill behind ordinary broadband trust
Wan4u looks small beside South Africa's national fibre and mobile brands, but its economics show why regional broadband trust is expensive to maintain. The company has to turn line-of-sight wireless, open-access fibre resale, backup power, field repair, upstream capacity and…

Sonic Telecoms and the power price inside Cape Town broadband
Sonic Telecoms is a Cape Town connectivity brand whose public record is most revealing when read through the economics of uptime. Its wireless, fibre, voice and private-network claims sit in a South African market where electricity failure has made backup power, support…

Societe Cajutel Guinee and the cost of Guinea's broadband frontier
Societe Cajutel Guinee sits at the hardest edge of the West African broadband story: demand is visible, the social need is obvious, and the investment proof is still thin. The company is interesting because its public record is not yet a mature retail-operator story. It is a…

Spectranet and the prepaid cost of Nigerian fixed wireless
Spectranet and the prepaid cost of Nigerian fixed wireless intelligence summary explains the development, the public evidence available to readers, the organisations involved, the regional context, market exposure, and the infrastructure consequences that may follow. The Africa…

Somcable and the price of resilience from Berbera
Somcable LTD is not best understood as a simple bandwidth supplier. Its economic value sits in a harder question: whether a Somaliland cable landing, a terrestrial fibre distributor, a wholesale buyer and a retail user can trust the same chain when politics, recognition, route…

TenacIT Solutions and the service desk inside the 10G peering port
TenacIT Solutions is not economically interesting because it can outscale Amazon, Microsoft or Google in South Africa. It is interesting because it sits in the practical middle: a Gqeberha-based managed service provider, enterprise ISP and private-cloud operator using NAP Africa…

EgyNet and the Economics of Absorbed Bandwidth
EgyNet is no longer best read as a standalone Egyptian access brand. Its more useful meaning is historical and economic: it was one of the private data-network assets that helped a new mobile carrier enter fixed connectivity, and its remaining public traces show how Egypt's ISP…

Diesel per megabit: how Eskom rewrote a Cape Town ISP's price list
Techwood Trading, the company behind Hitech Fibre on Cape Town's West Coast, kept two price lists through South Africa's blackout years — one for wireless, one for fibre. The gap between them is the most honest record anywhere of what load-shedding actually cost a small operator…

Telekom Networks Malawi carries Malawi's dependency problem, not just its traffic
Telekom Networks Malawi is best read as a national-dependency operator. The company sells voice, data, broadband, enterprise connectivity and mobile money, but its larger economic role is to keep a small, landlocked, foreign-exchange-constrained economy connected when power…

cloud.mu and the Island Cloud Problem
An island cloud, not a hyperscale rival. The most important thing about cloud.mu is that it is not trying to be “the Mauritian AWS”. It is a local hosting platform that sells web hosting, VPS, backups and dedicated servers, focused on jurisdictional familiarity, local support and…

SONATEL: Rent, Risk and Reach of a West African Incumbent Operator
SONATEL must be understood not as a simple Senegalese telecom operator, but as a rent-bearing infrastructure system whose revenues are generated by three superimposed layers of advantage: an inherited fixed-network and spectrum position in Senegal, a mass-market mobile and Orange…

Multitel and the Business of the Reliable Alternative in Angola
Multitel should not be seen as a large-scale independent competitor challenging the Angolan telecom establishment. Evidence points to a narrower position: a **managed network and enterprise connectivity specialist**, selling reliability, tailored design, and hybrid access, in a…

Abidjan, Peering, and the Price of Keeping Traffic at Home
The core question is not whether Côte d’Ivoire has an Internet exchange point in any formal sense. It does. CIVIX is a functioning national IXP in Abidjan, established in 2013, managed by the telecom regulator ARTCI, visible in major routing and peering directories, and carrying…

Liquid Kenya and the Enterprise Fiber Margin
Liquid Telecommunications Kenya Limited is interesting for what it is not: not a consumer operator, not a submarine cable owner, not a residential broadband leader. It operates as a Kenyan entity within a pan-African group, with an advantage in enterprise fiber, wholesale…
