Tanzania joins One Network Area for lower cross-border call tariffs
Tuesday May 25 2021
Summary
Pressure on Tanzania to join the network peaked at the June 2019 meeting of the EAC Transport, Communications and Meteorology Sector Council held in Kampala, where Dar es Salaam was given a deadline of March 31 to complete its analysis on the implementation of One Network Area.
But it has emerged that Tanzania made the decision to join the ONA late last year, and Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Stephen Mbundi wrote to the EAC Secretariat expressing interest in the deal.
The benefits include easier and cheaper communication that will promote the ease of doing business in the region.
