Factors affecting the pricing of telecommunication products and services in Uganda

Abstract

Improving universal access to telecommunications has become a very critical area of concern in both developed and developing countries in the recent past due to the huge contribution of the sub-sector to socio-economic and political lives of the populace world over. However, the prices of these products and services still remain high and unstable (Afedraru, 2010). Many factors that influence the prices of these products and services are largely unknown. Using quantitative approaches, we studied the factors affecting prices of telecommunication products and services in Uganda and made a number of recommendations that we hope can help in setting and stabilizing prices for telecommunications products and services in Uganda and other developing countries.
