Many marketing companies use B2B telecommunication to boost their brand and identify business opportunities.

Covid 19 Impact
During the lockdown, the African entertainment industries still thrived in the digital space. Movie theaters and film distributors combated social distancing and lockdown restrictions by implementing changes like transactional video-on-demand platforms for new releases. The lockdown also led to more people consuming music, video, and other forms of entertainment.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic also resulted in growth for the global B2B telecommunication market.
The global B2B telecommunication industry benefited from the outbreak of the Covid-19 and, in turn, lockdown. Many employees and students had to rely on broadband services and video conferencing tools to work from home. Additionally, remote teams rely heavily on communication tools for unified communication and collaboration.
Market Growth Factors
In Africa, the increased availability of low-cost smartphones, data tariffs, and improving 3G and 4G networks coverage are major growth factors.
Additionally, further development in the telecom infrastructure will create more opportunities for the entertainment industry, like new customer acquisitions.
