Ethiopia’s communication authority (ECA) has announced that it is launching two new telecom operator licenses in efforts to broaden coverage across the country.

As a reminder, the government announced in June 2019, plans to privatize the telecom sector to make it more competitive and attract foreign investments in the sector. In addition to the new licenses, the state plans to open the capital of the incumbent operator, Ethio Telecom to foreign investors.
