Telecom services in Mali are forecast to generate $789 billion in revenue this year, according to a report posted by Hexa Research, Inc. on Sept. 22.
Mobile voice will be the major contributor for revenue in the mobile service industry, and the growing adoption and usage of low-cost smartphones and value-added services will drive mobile data growth.
