Win – Win Strategy for Players in Zimbabwe
• Compete on services NOT infrastructure
• Share infrastructure where possible to reduce duplication and under utilized fiber hence poor ROI
• Collaborate and Compete is the new rule of the game
21
• Introduce value added services (VAS) that increase broadband uptake
• Benchmark and network with players in other markets to keep abreast with new developments in the sector
• Invest in low-cost devices to increase broadband uptake
Challenges for Landlocked Zimbabwe
• Cost effective and diverse backhaul
options still limited
• Backhaul and transit capacity are
the most expensive components in
the pricing matrix
• Market remains a sellers market on
backhaul and transit for landlocked
23
backhaul and transit for landlocked
countries
• Aggressive pricing is becoming a key
ingredient to securing new sales
• Relatively Poor Quality of Service
(QoS) due to multiple network
segments
