Qualification fraud an epidemic in SA
Qualification fraud is fast becoming a significant problem in South Africa – increasing by 200% over the last five years (2009 – 2014) and impacting even the highest executive levels. This is according to Ina van der Merwe, director and CEO of South African background screening company, Managed Integrity Evaluation (MIE), who notes that certain certifications hold a higher risk of being invalid or forged.
WiFi set to change Africa
The introduction of affordable smartphones designed specifically for emerging markets has been a game changer for Africa and has made an impact on WiFi demand. According to published reports, mobile penetration in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase from 52% in 2012 to 79% in 2020, making it the fastest-growing region globally – with mobile broadband connections anticipated to quadruple from its 2012 figure to reach 160-million in 2016. WiFi in Africa has predominantly been reserved for businesses and airport business lounges but this has fast changed says Fletcher.
WiFi set to take over mobile traffic
New research has forecast that WiFi networks will carry almost 60% of smartphone and tablet data traffic by 2019, reaching over 115 000 Petabytes (Pb) by 2019, compared to under 30 000Pb this year – representing an almost four-fold increase. The new research, Mobile Data Offload & Onload: WiFi, Small Cell & Networks Strategies 2015-2019, found that mobile data offload – data migration from a mobile network to a WiFi network – offers several key benefits to industry stakeholders.
Analogue will go on as DTT deadline passes
The 17 June 2015 was the day laid down by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for full digital broadcasting to take over from analogue. Analogue users will no longer be protected from signal interference.
With South Africa still some way from finalising its Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) migration, there is a risk that television viewers could face broadcasting disruptions. However, Minister of Communications Faith Muthambi says that South Africa, along with other countries that are signatories to the ITU, have an agreement to facilitate the migration of broadcasting services from the analogue format to the DTT platform.
