2005 has been a phenomenal year for Senegal’s mobile market, which added a reported 610,000 subscriptions, compared to 340,000 in 2004. This has occurred primarily because Millicom-owned Tigo has invigorated the market with attractive marketing and promotional campaigns, retroactively prompting incumbent Sonatel Mobiles to follow suit. Along with the upcoming entry of a Second National Operator (SNO), we believe total mobile subscriptions in the country are set to rise to 3.8m subscriptions by 2009.
