Africa-Press<\/a> – Ethiopia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Addis Ababa May 20\/2021 (ENA) The Ethiopian Communications Authority has provided a very detailed review of the new telecom license bidding process to the Council of Ministers.<\/p>\n

After the presentation, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed wrote on his Facebook that \u201cEthiopian Communications Authority has provided a very detailed review of the new telecom license bidding process in our discussion with the telecom privatization advisory council this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the authority explained the process and solicited inputs for the Council of Ministers to weigh in making a decision that puts Ethiopia\u2019s vision for prosperity and growth aspirations at the forefront.<\/p>\n

It is to be recalled that the government passed a decision opening the telecom sector in two-folds: by selling a minority stake of the incumbent operator Ethio Telecom, and issuing two additional licenses for telecommunications operators.<\/p>\n

The deadline for telecoms firms to bid for new operating licenses was extended by three weeks to April 26, 2021.<\/p>\n

Some 12 telecom companies have reportedly submitted expressions of interest to join in the Ethiopian telecom market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
