Gamtel is the sole fixed-line provider. Although the incumbent has a relatively well-developed national fibre backbone network, fixed-line penetration has remained low, which has also hindered internet usage.
The launch of a second 3G mobile broadband service in early 2012 has brought more competition to the internet sector where ADSL, WiMAX and EV-DO wireless broadband offerings are also available. The landing of the first international submarine fibre-optic cable in the country in 2011, to be followed by a second one in the near future, will dramatically lower the cost of international bandwidth.
-Gamtel contracts Huawei for fibre backbone project;
-Gamtel reported a financial loss of GMD259 million for 2012, with poor infrastructure and equipment compounded by the effects of vandalism and difficulties in securing finance for investment.
