Madagascar cracks down on SIM card fraud
Madagascar's economy has shown steady growth in recent years, benefiting
from a revived tourist sector. Plans to exploit and export crude oil,
gas and other natural resources may also deliver a boost to the economy
in future, despite the falling price of these commodities on
international markets.
This period of strengthening economic output is helping to increase
consumer spend on telecom services. These services are becoming cheaper
as a result of intensifying competition between the main operators,
including Orange Madagascar, Bharti Airtel (formerly Zain) and the
incumbent telco Telma. A fourth mobile operator, Blueline, now operates
its own network having been an MVNO since 2010.
