The future of fibre
Fibre is no longer a dream on the horizon of a connected South Africa. This is the largest fibre market on the continent and, despite a continental year-on-year slowing of fixed line services by 0.1%, SA’s FTTH connections were growing by more than 30% by mid-2018, according to the FTTH Council. But the migration from ADSL and the saturation in affluent urban areas are reaching their peaks. What’s next for the local fibre market?

Juanita Clark, CEO, FTTH Council Africa: There are many businesses that haven’t been migrated and FTTH is by no means dead. Many fibre companies will still spend the foreseeable future just deploying fibre. There’s still a lot of demand.
