According to Ethiopia’s communications authority on Friday, the country has launched tender for a second new telecommunications license, opening up one of Africa’s largest markets to further competition.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s push to liberalise the economy after he took over in 2018, has made Ethiopia’s telecom industry to be considered a big prize due to its large population of about 120 million.
In October 2022, Kenya’s Safaricom launched its mobile network, becoming the first private operator alongside state-owned Ethio Telecoms.
In a request for qualifications (RFQ) notice, the Ethiopian telecommunication sector said, “There are several positive developments occurring in the Ethiopian telecommunications sector since the beginning of the liberalization process.”
