Ericcson Says 3G Works For South Africa
You know of the name Ericsson. Ericsson, a Swedish company, has long been the provider of mobile communication technology. Most people around the world are familiar with Ericcson cellphones and Smartphones. Not surprisingly, a global cell phone company like Erricsson usually has a good read on market conditions for their products. Also, you should be aware that Ericsson has almost a 40 percent share of the mobile online traffic through their network.
In this case, Ericsson has publicly proclaimed that for now at least, 3G is the way to go for South Africa and South Africa online casinos. Yes, the 4G technology is faster and more robust. But does that matter if the average South African consumer can’t afford to pay for the 4G service plan much less the cost of the device itself?
What does it mean for the growing online gambling industry? It seems like everybody is pointing to South Africa and the incredible demand for online casinos and online gambling options. Not to mention that South Africa turns out to have a very high number of cell phone customers. That being said, Ericsson spokespersons point out that 4G technology is just too expensive for the average South African. But that really does not matter so much.
Quite a few online casinos have released mobile apps that work perfectly fine across the 3G networks. Ericsson is taking a look at their 40 percent market share and is looking to expand it and continue to provide their technology and solutions to the South African market.
More to the point, the smart guys at Ericsson are most likely watching the growing popularity of online casinos for South Africans and are working hard to figure out ways to take advantage of this growth. Additionally, although the details are not yet public, it seems that Ericsson is working on new projects to make mobile online casinos easier and faster to access, no matter if it is on a 3G or a 4G network.
South African online casino players are clamoring for mobile online casinos and it would seem that Ericsson is determined to do whatever it can to give it to them. Stay tuned as the mobile online casino market continues to heat up. From the perspective of the regular South African online casino player, things are only getting better and better each day.
