MTN Ghana Takes Fight Over Market Dominance to Supreme Court - 1 views

  • It wants a reversal of the National Communications Authority’s decision, which was upheld by a lower court, the continent’s biggest operator said in a statement. The designation would limit its growth and performance, the company said.
    • samielbaqqali
       
      MTN Ghana has achieved tremendous market supremacy. I think that since being the leader often brings out rivals, they need to be careful with the rivalry. In order to prevent potential issues that could consume the time and resources of the company, MTN needs to be conscious of any regulation.

Improved ICT infrastructure in Ghana raises data penetration | Ghana 2018 | Oxford Busi... - 0 views

  • This led to a drop in the overall mobile penetration rate in Ghana. It fell from 139% in February 2017 to 127% at the end of April. However, the country has actually seen a slight increase in the number of customers. In 2016 monthly mobile subscription growth ranged from 0.22% to 1.51%, and in March 2017 the segment was growing at a rate of 0.57%. The sluggishness is a result of the fact that the voice segment is saturated, but there is still room for expansion and building revenues in data services. Data

      I like the confidence that MTN had to turn to a digital one from a conventional telecommunication service provider. I would claim that these decisions could be vital to the success of the organization. You just need to know the exact time for this important decision to be chosen.

Ghana's banks may find themselves undercut by MTN's mobile money - 1 views

  • A few years ago, Adovor says, he would have had to endure the traffic driving across Accra to pay cash. “Mobile money is facilitating business and that will increase as more and more people use digital platforms,” he says. Backed by a supportive regulatory environment, mobile money has become the preferred payment method for Ghana’s small businesses.
    • samielbaqqali
       
      The mobile payment industry is rapidly rising. In Ghana, MTN is one of the leaders in this market. Banks may seem old-fashioned, however, but they still have the financial resources to embrace the new technology and develop their digital services, so I would like to think that this is something that MTN needs to be cautious about.

      A clear example of the advantages of alliances is this. In order to help track covid19 cases in Ghana, MTN and Vodafone use their power of technology. Fintechs, I guess, are the biggest winners in this pandemic.

In the directive, the Authority directed MTN to submit a report on the challenges within 24 hours of receipt of the directive among other directives.
    • samielbaqqali
       
      This sanction illustrates that with legislation, MTN needs to be vigilant. Any bad move will damage the company's reputation, which can result in some bad results, such as losing some major market share.

How to develop digital payments or is it how to reduce cash use - 1 views

  • One of the most striking differences between banking in Europe and in Egypt is cash management. Withdrawals and deposits of cash are the dominant operations in the Egyptian banking branches. It is frequent to meet customers with big bags of money in or out of banking branches. In Europe, anti-money laundering laws and electronic payments popularity made large cash operations extremely rare.
    • samielbaqqali
       
      Although not everyone trusts online payment in Egypt, Fawry persuaded them by offering numerous services with simple usage and protection. Almost all Egyptians currently use fake services, especially in the telecommunications sector.
