The level of service quality in the mobile telephony sector: the case of Mauritius

Competition has prompted firms to be more concerned with the quality of their service delivery, and the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is no exception. Using both quantitative and qualitative instruments, Mauritius offers an interesting case to evaluate service quality in the mobile telephony industry in a highly competitive duopolistic environment. We found that, although customers are satisfied, there are certain quality dimensions that need to be given extra consideration. The consistency of service quality across outlets is found to be heterogeneous, prompting us to conclude that managers recognise the needs of customers in different locations.
