Telecom Developments and Investments In Ghana
 Since 1994, the number of fixed line telephone subscribers in Ghana has grown from
app. 50,000 to 275,000 and, in the same period of time, mobile subscribers have gone
up from a couple of thousands to more than 300,000.
All in all, this looks like a
success story. However, the goals set by government have only partly been met –
especially with respect to the development in rural areas – and the quality of service is
still low and has even deteriorated on some indicators. There is, therefore, a
widespread dissatisfaction with the general telecom development in Ghana among
users as well as policy decision makers and administrators.
This is, in very brief terms, the general description of the telecom development and
present situation in Ghana, and the aim of this paper is to analyze this development
and situation and to discuss the reasons behind the successes and failures experienced,
in particular with respect to investments.
