Developing Telecoms - Vodafone Fiji launches eSim support and rural Wi-Fi
in emerging markets worldwide
Dear Visitor
Vodafone is introducing eSIMs to Fiji, while its local unit in Hungary is now providing 5G coverage across Budapest. On the subject of 5G, Peru's first offerings have been launched this week after Entel and Claro were cleared to do so by the country's regulator. In India, the impending arrival of the new generation of technology has prompted a shake-up of outdated telecoms legislation, while Thailand's operators look set to receive more time to pay off their 5G licence fees as a result of the economic downturn caused by the pandemic. In South Sudan, there is still very much an appetite for the previous generation of tech with Zain announcing a 4G launch. Welcome to your weekly update on telecoms in developing and emerging markets.
