Ethiopia : The newcomer Safaricom to share Ethio Telecom’s infrastructure
Safaricom Ethiopia has agreed in principle to share the cell sites and tower assets of incumbent Ethio Telecom, but a deal has yet to be finalised
In May last year, a consortium led by Safaricom won a telecoms operating licence in Ethiopia for roughly $850 million, intending to break up the monopoly of existing state-backed operator Ethio Telecom for the first time.
