(Ecofin Agency) - In an interview, last March 14 with Alger Chaîne 3, Brahim Boumzar (pictured), the Algerian Minister of Post and Telecommunications, said the deployment of 5G technology is not an immediate priority of his department. The official said his ministry is rather focused for the moment on providing a good 4G to Algerians. We are working pragmatically. Our current facilities are 5G Ready. At the appropriate time, we will launch 5G [.] For the moment the main thing is to offer a respectable speed to our citizens. First, we must offer a good 4G and at the appropriate time we can go for other generations,” he said.
