LUSAKA, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) Zambia s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) regulator on Friday said that it has given a local firm a license to commence mobile phone services operations.
The Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) said it has awarded Beeline Telecoms Limited to become the country s fourth mobile phone service operator.

In 2018, the regulator awarded UZI Zambia, a unit of Unitel International Holdings B.V, registered in the Netherlands a license to commence operations but it was revoked in 2020 after failure to start operations.
