I think that if we are to grade the industry as a whole the best measure would be the teledensity in the country compared to another similar country. Uganda had a teledensity of around 3.1% in 2003 compared to Ghana that had a teledensity of around 5.2% in 2003.
Regionally Tanzania was around 2.8% in 2003 and Kenya was around 5.8%, so that puts Uganda around the middle of the pack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Bagyenda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Linux Users Group Uganda" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 7:07 AM Subject: Re: [LUG] MTN's 1 Million > The problem with this number is that to me it conveys even less meaning > than it purports to do.
