WHAT’S NEXT? 4G (up to 1G DL, mobile) 3G 2.75G 2G 1G VOICE DATA EDGE GPRS GSM AMPS 2 Mbps (Mobile) 384 Kbps (WiFi) 9.6 Kbps (X.25) Analogique More fibre coming into Africa resulting in better quality lower prices Less demand for data or voice trunking over VSAT

WHAT’S NEXT IN THE INDUSTRY? VSAT market to focus in the coming years on: Consumer market for broadband access Universal access projects DTH and broadcasting Private networks Backup to fibe A new consumer VSAT broadband solution over West and Central Africa; a new 4G wireless data service in Gabon. WHAT’S NEXT FOR INTERNET GABON

CONCLUSION The next Carlos Slim or Bill Gate, could very well be in Africa providing reliable broadband services because of: A stronger than ever demand A maturing and particularly adapted wireless technology VSAT for rural area and broadcasting applications (DTH, private networks) Ka band (O3B, YahSAT) Frequency reuse (EPIC) 4G for urban area and bandwith intensive applications Reduced Investment and operational costs to enter the telecommunications market with a Next Generation full IP network, or a full IP based applications
