We recently
enquired from the POTRAZ the 3rd quarter mobile subscriber statistics
for Zimbabwe. The figures they gave us are as follows:
- Econet:
5.4 million
- Telecel:
1.3 million
- NetOne:
1.3 million
The significant
change from the previous quarter is that by Econet Wireless Zimbabwe
which has jumped from 4.2 million to 5.4 million subscribers, a
29% increase. State owned operator NetOne has remained stagnant
at 1.3 million, while Telecel Zimbabwe has increased slightly by
8% from 1.2 million to 1.3 million mobile subscribers.
According to
these stats, the country's mobile penetration has jumped from
53.5% to 63.9%.
During September,
Econet announced that it expected to reach 6 million subscribers
by end of the month. Later in the month, the company told analysts
it had reached 5.6 million subscribers. It's difficult to
know which is the exact but we'll use the POTRAZ figure for
now.
POTRAZ gets
its stats from the mobile operators. According to the POTRAZ official
we spoke to, the figures represent active SIM cards in the quarter.
