Isibuyekezo Sokufinyelela Kwedijithali 2026: Kumenyezelwe Izinhlelo Ezintsha Kubantu BaseNingizimu Afrika Abangenayo I-inthanethi

Umbiko wakamuva we-BMI TechKnowledge (BMIT) ukhombisa ukuthi ukuxhumeka kwe-fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) kanye ne-fixed-wireless access (FWA) eNingizimu Afrika kulindeleke ukuthi kukhule kakhulu ngo-2029.

Ngokombiko ka-2025 we-South African Broadband, kulindeleke ukuthi ukuxhumeka kwe-FTTH kukhule ngesilinganiso se-compound annual growth rate (CAGR) engu-12.8% phakathi kuka-2024 no-2029.

Umqondisi ophethe we-BMIT, uChris Geerdts, uthe ukukhula kokufakwa kwe-fibre kwehle kancane phakathi kuka-2023 no-2024 ngemuva kokukhula okukhulu eminyakeni eyedlule.

Nokho, kulindeleke ukuthi ukufakwa kwe-fibre kuvuke futhi ngokushesha, njengoba abahlinzeki benethiwekhi ye-fibre (FNOs) sebesondela ezindaweni zabantu abahola imali ephansi emadolobheni.

Umbiko ka-2024 we-BMIT wathi phakathi kwemizi engu-3.2 million esezingeni eliphezulu, 3.1 million seziye zafinyelelwa yi-fibre, kanti u-48.7% usuxhumekile.

Kodwa-ke, izibalo zikhombisa ukuthi izinga lokufinyelela liphezulu kakhulu kubantu abahola imali ephakathi nendawo naphansi.

Kubantu abahola imali ephakathi nendawo, izindlu ezingu-4.3 million, 2.2 million kuphela ezidluliwe yi-fibre, kanti u-16.5% usuxhumekile.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kubantu abahola imali ephansi, cishe izindlu ezingu-5 million zikhona, kodwa 100,000 kuphela ezidluliwe yi-fibre, futhi u-0.4% kuphela oxhumekile.

Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu abaningi abafuna i-FTTH baphoqeleka ukukhetha ezinye izindlela ezifana ne-fixed-LTE kanye ne-fixed-5G.

I-BMIT ilindele ukuthi ukukhula okukhulu kuzovela ku-fixed-wireless access, ikakhulukazi i-fixed-mobile, lapho i-5G iba namandla emakethe.

Umbiko uthi i-5G izoba ngu-67% wokuxhumeka kwe-fixed-mobile router ngo-2029, ikhuphuka isuka ku-34% ngo-2024.

Lokhu kuzosekelwa izinkampani ezifana ne-MTN, Vodacom, Telkom, kanye ne-Rain, ezandisa ukufakwa kwe-5G futhi zinikeza amaphakheji abiza kancane.

I-BMIT iphinde yabikezela ukuthi imakethe ye-broadband izofinyelela R82.8 billion ngo-2029, ngenxa yokwanda kwe-3.7 million yababhalisile abasha.

NgokukaGeerdts, imakethe yokuxhumeka kwe-inthanethi isenamathuba amaningi, ikakhulukazi kubahlinzeki abagxile kubantu abahola imali ephansi.
