As in parallel, mobile voice revenue will drop from $358 million in 2018 to $240 million by 2023 due to an ongoing decline in voice traffic, resulting from the popularisation of OTT-based communication apps.
Mobile data revenue, meanwhile, will grow from $286 million in 2018 to $434 million by 2023, led by the increasing demand for mobile data service.
This increasing of OTT services will impact deeply on how telcos manage their network. For this reason, mobile operator Tigo plans to spread 4G coverage to 80% of the population by 2021. It is also modernising its network, with an objective to enhance performance and prepare the network for next-generation 5G and IoT services.
