Starlink back online after software failure

The Tanzania Telecommunications Corporation says the new cross-border fibre link aims to strengthen digital competitiveness, expand the scope of high-speed communication services, and stimulate the growth of the digital economy for East Africa.

The telco said as it extends 5G coverage, AI-based apps are becoming core to its operations.

This process, according to the regulator, aims to provide the Kingdom of Morocco with the latest technologies to support its economic development.

In the latest attack, which occurred during the night of 13 to 14 July, unidentified individuals destroyed critical infrastructure, including fibre cables and distribution boxes.

The company said Arrabal brings more than two decades of experience leading multicultural teams in the cyber security and technology sectors.

The fire destroyed the ten-story Ramses Exchange, killing four people and injuring 26 others.

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

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

The companies said the launch of 5G seeks to improve user experiences while also generating new business models and smart ecosystems in areas such as smart cities.

The funding includes €39 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and around €35.6 million from Banque Misr's Dubai office.

The Nigerian Communications Commission has demanded that service providers notify the cause of the service disruption, the affected locations, and the projected time of restoration in advance.
