Africacom Highlights Mobile, VOD & Emerging Devices

Africacom Highlights Mobile, VOD & Emerging Devices

November 11-13, Cape Town played host to Africacom, one of the continent’s largest ICT exhibition gatherings. CCTV Africa report that mobile and internet infrastructure were hot topics at the event as were video on demand services and phablets — a phone/tablet device.

“There’s been a lot of talk at the conference about connecting the next two or three billion people to the mobile world or to the internet. So we’re seeing a big emphasis from manufacturers on connecting those with low-end devices,” Arthur Goldstruck, managing director at World Wide Worx told CCTV Africa.

“We’re also seeing a lot of effort to try and migrate existing smart phone users up the value chain to bigger devices, more expensive devices  — or ones that can make more use of data.”
