Data, content & apps set to flourish in Africa -
Digital Services Africa
Digital Services Africa event has now shut its doors after two days of intense debates on the
opportunities offered by digital services on the continent. Digital services
(including mobile data, content, apps, mobile money, mobile marketing) are
creating new business models and partnerships in an ecosystem that is no longer
dominated solely by mobile operators. The relations between OTT players and
telcos have evolved greatly in the last few years but there is still work to do
to ensure partnerships are working and that revenues are shared equitably.
Representatives of all parts of the digital ecosystem shared their views in
lively debates during the event: OTT/content players (Google, Iroking, Spinlet,
Bozza), social media (Mxit, 2Go), operators (Orange), devices specialists
(Nokia, Anabel Mobile), solutions providers (Spice Africa, Jinny Software,
Intersec), app developers and more.
"From the debates we heard at Digital Services
Africa this year, it is clear that what we're seeing now is only the beginning
of what will be a great market. There is still a lot of work to ensure the
digital market grows for the benefit of all - including customers. We are proud
to be able to provide a forum where market stakeholders can get together,
exchange ideas and build partnerships" says Julie Rey from organisers
Informa Telecoms & Media.
The event will return to Johannesburg in 2014, co-located
with MVNOs Africa. This will provide more opportunities to discuss new
partnerships and models to deliver attractive services to African users.
