Morocco opens bidding for 5G network licenses

Cameroon's telecom regulator penalised MTN and Orange $4.6 million for poor service quality and alleged irregular rates.

The telco promised to improve connectivity, provide appropriate power supply, and address network outages.

MTN said the development marks a significant milestone for the sustainability of the telecommunications industry.

SIM swaps, replacements, and new activations have all been affected as telcos transition to a new ID verification system.

Relevant ministers, national regulatory agencies, policymakers, and experts recently met in Mbabane, Eswatini, to discuss the bloc's new broadband ambitions.

Camusat will supply end-to-end telecom infrastructure and energy solutions under the arrangement, enabling the carrier to extend national coverage and improve network reliability.

Lawmakers have expressed concerns about the impact of inconsistent connectivity, particularly in rural areas where mobile communication is important for emergencies and essential services.

The telecoms regulator is considering imposing sanctions on Airtel, including forcing the telco to pay outage credits in accordance with consumer protection guidelines.

The telecoms regulator is financing initiatives in Kavango East, Kavango West, Kunene, Ohangwena, and Oshikoto since their 4G coverage is less than 80%.  .

The telco's restructuring plans are in line with the Group's Ambition 2025 strategy, which seeks to unlock value, attract new investors, and ensure regulatory compliance by establishing independent fintech firms in Uganda, Ghana, and Nigeria.

By merging OneWeb's satellite coverage with its terrestrial networks, Orange pledges to provide continuity of service and increased security as part of a digital inclusion strategy.
