Modernising quality of service regulations in Sub-Saharan Africa
Changing consumer needs and behaviours in Sub-Saharan Africa, coupled with increased adoption of mobile services, is resulting in broad stakeholder interest in the quality of all services provided to individuals and businesses that rely on mobile connectivity to participate in the digital economy. Quality of service (QoS) regulation is at the heart of efforts to realise the goal of high service quality levels. In Sub-Saharan Africa, most countries follow a direct regulatory approach, but key findings from a GSMA survey of national regulatory authorities and service providers reveal the limitations of current QoS regulatory regimes in the region, which we highlight in this report. We also bring attention to important considerations for realising the goal of effective QoS regulation in Sub-Saharan Africa.

It shows broad convergence across the foundation components (coverage, affordability, adoption), but reveals a widening gap on advanced capabilities, including 5G standalone (SA), 5G‑Advanced, uplink performance, fixed wireless access (FWA), IoT and RedCap.
Taking the pulse: operator views and plans on quantum technologies
Over the last two years the rise of quantum technologies has flown slightly below the radar, crowded out by the hype of AI. But this should not diminish the implications of quantum technologies for a range of businesses, including telecoms operators. Quantum technologies can provide powerful benefits, including enhanced network security and efficiency. In this report we focus on the strategic implications of quantum technology deployments and the risks of not taking action.
