Ten firms compete for third telecom licence

Ten firms have expressed interest in a third telecom operator’s licence to be awarded December this year. By press time The New Times could not indentify the interested firms. The third telecom operator was invited after MTN Rwanda and Rwandatel duopoly is about to expire this month. The successful operator will be issued with both mobile and fixed licences for duration of 15 years. Diogène Mudenge, Director General of Rwanda Utility Regulatory Authority (Rura) said a liberalised and competitive market needs more players.
