Ample Potential for Future Growth in the Telecoms Market in Sierra Leone

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90682) has announced the addition of Sierra Leone - Telecoms Market Overview, Statistics & Forecasts to their offering.

Following more than a decade of civil war, Sierra Leone has enjoyed peace and stability since 2002. The country's traditional telecommunications infrastructure has suffered damage and neglect, but the mobile sector has experienced excellent growth with now five GSM networks competing for customers. However, a rapidly declining Average Revenue per User (ARPU) is forcing the operators to improve their services and find new revenue streams. Wireless broadband services have been introduced, providing Internet access and VoIP Internet telephony. Penetration rates in all market segments are still very low, leaving ample potential for future growth.
