African mobile markets are growing at a fast pace and some countries in the region are considered to be the fastest growing mobile markets in the world. VAS services in these regions are aimed at enhancing the lifestyle of people so there is huge potential for Indian VAS providers to work with mobile operators in Africa to provide solutions which will help them capture these new market segments. With its foray in this market through the partnership, Netxcell is well positioned to tap the huge opportunity available in the market.
