Kenya orders suspension of Telegram

Telcos are urging the government to focus on regulatory reforms that will allow them to build and sustain infrastructure.

The country's three main mobile service providers said the adjustment will ensure the telecoms sector's continued viability in the face of volatile economic conditions.

Kamoto has worked for Airtel Malawi for 10 years, transitioning from chief commercial officer in 2014 to managing director in 2016.

The company promises to provide a single, simple payment solution for cross-border online merchants looking at Africa as their next growth opportunity.

The Nigerian Communications Commission set September 14 as the deadline for registering the country's 219 million active mobile customers.

The regulator expects that by September 15, 2024, no SIM card operating in Nigeria will not be linked to a valid national identity number.

This comes as Nigerian carriers have upped their efforts to achieve minimal pricing increases, due to the economy's volatility.

The telco says customer experience remains critical to its strategy, with ongoing network investment driving increased capacity and coverage.

The company said its objective is to help businesses connect, communicate, and collaborate in a digital world.

The rollout will focus on improving and strengthening Airtel's network coverage in the country's north-east.

Network will roll out its processing services in key Airtel Africa markets.
