The rapid growth of Africa's telecommunications market, especially from a mobile perspective, has had a significant and positive impact on the continent with consumers, businesses and governments alike reaping the benefits of an increasingly connected Africa.
But with limited infrastructure, high investment costs and an uneven regulatory environment, the local telecommunications sector has not yet reached its full potential.
How do we address these challenges and which companies are making strides in the market despite these impediments? That's the big question on today's agenda. For a discussion CNBC Africa is joined by Issam Darwish, Exec. VC & CEO, IHS Group, Robert Grant, Group Head, Project & Structured Finance, FCMB Capital Markets Ltd and Abiodum Adeoye, Managing Director, Contact Solutions Limited.
