The market for TV services in Africa is developing at a fast pace. In 2010, Sub-Saharan Africa had 34.5 million TV households, forecast to grow to 42.1m by 2015. Among them, 3.5 million households are pay TV subscriber, representing a penetration of 11%.<br />
<br />
Satellite TV still dominates the market, but new technologies (DTT, online TV, Mobile TV), coupled with the imminent switch to all digital, mean that the broadcasting market is due to experience great changes and increased competition in the years to come. AfricaCast is a new event organised jointly by Informa’s Com World Series and IP&TV World Series to address the unique challenges and opportunities in Africa’s broadcasting market.<br />
<br />
This two day executive summit will bring together decision makers from the entire value chain, including broadcasters, satellite providers, cable companies, telecoms operators, regulators, content providers & producers, and production facilities. The event is co-located with Africacom, the continent’s leading conference and exhibition for the communications industry.
