NCC orders telcos to compensate subscribers over poor network quality

Revenues of the country’s mobile network operators exceeded $698 million in 2025.

Strategic partnership targets 1 000 sites annually for solar-hybrid conversion to support the telco’s "Next Horizon" 2028 expansion.

The decision raises compliance pressure on operators like Safaricom while strengthening user control over mobile money, banking, and online identities.

Mobile data revenue climbed to $52 million  in Q4 2025, cushioning operators as voice income continued to decline, with subscriber growth and broadband demand reshaping Namibia’s telecom landscape.

This addition to First Distribution’s Networking Division strengthens its portfolio with wired and wireless solutions designed to deliver reliable, secure and high-performance connectivity.

Strong growth in MTN Nigeria and Ghana, combined with a resilient South Africa, helped power MTN Group’s exceptional 2025 results, delivering robust free cash flow, improved returns and a 45% jump in shareholder dividends.

The operator is using artificial intelligence to improve the consumer experience and has invested millions of dollars in improving connectivity and boosting digital financial services.

Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are among the countries that will take part.

Inq. Digital has installed 21 routers at Malawi’s Gateway Mall to bolster internet connectivity, part of efforts to develop local digital infrastructure.

The country’s communications regulator is seeking to track interference levels with existing cellular networks with the introduction of Direct-to-Cell calls.

MTN claims to be the first African operator to successfully complete a live field test of Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell service in Africa.

The pact intends to replace legacy infrastructure with modern technology to substantially boost 4G coverage while expanding its 5G footprint.
