Who are the Top 10 Operators in the Mid-East and Africa?
The mobile market in the Middle East and Africa seemed to slow down in the second quarter of 2007. Indeed, we have to go back four years, to the second quarter of 2003, to find its equal.

The only other likely contenders for the top spot are Nigerian - given the three to one difference in population between the two countries - but with five competitors there, rather than just three, the threat could take some time to materialise. As it is, Nigerian companies take fifth and sixth place on the list and even these two taken together still don't quite match Vodacom's total. more
