The past century has seen rapid development in the telecommunications industry throughout the world. Mobile phones, for example, have become imperative to people’s social interactions, and a useful and necessary means to connect with the world. The laying of undersea cables over the next few years will further boost telecoms infrastructure, and provide South Africans with cheaper and faster access to the internet. According to a report on South Africa Info site, the local telecommunications and telecoms industry "...is one of the fastest growing sectors of South Africa’s economy... [and] together with transport and storage, accounts for almost 10% of gross domestic product (GDP)."
Telecoms utilises a broad variety of channels in order to transmit signals over distances for communication purposes. According to the Wikipedia definition, telecoms consists of three basic elements: a transmitter to carry and convert signals, a transmission medium that carries the signal and a receiver that receives the signal then converts this into usable information. Therefore, mobile phones, televisions, radios and more importantly office automation equipment, are essential channels of telecommunication. Even the unsuspecting fax machine in the back of your office is continually connecting you to the changing world of telecoms, and forms part of a growing, and lucrative worldwide industry.
The use of telecoms for business purposes has become such an intrinsic part of our lives. Where would we be without the ability to make conference calls, check email on our mobile phones, or be able to fax or email important data from business partners overseas? The nature of business transactions has evolved to include not only the importance of personal communication, but the ability to engage with and respond to information on an immediate basis through telecoms channels. Access is also set to grow over the next few years, according to Engineering News which states that "...a new $250-million telecommunications satellite dedicated to supplying telecommunications services to Africa is to be built over the next two years..."
