TNM, Malawi mobile operator, announced yesterday that it will invest in technologies that improve citizens' lives while also accelerating the country's digital transformation.
TNM CEO Michel Hebert discussed the company's growth ambitions and long-term commitment to national development at a meeting with Malawi's telecom regulator, the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA).
“We pioneered 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G and mobile money. We are proud to bring these technologies to Malawi to ensure access for every Malawian, regardless of location. Everything we do, we do it for Malawi,” said Hebert.
MACRA's acting director general, Mayamiko Nkoloma, expressed the regulator's support for TNM's expansion initiatives, including lobbying the central bank for foreign exchange access.
He also encouraged TNM to improve consumer communication about network-related challenges that may affect user experience, and he advocated for greater industry collaboration to combat mobile money fraud.
Nkoloma also urged TNM to collaborate with MACRA in implementing the Universal Service Fund's Connect-a-School Project, which aims to increase digital access in Malawi.
