The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) says that infrastructure sharing between mobile operators is now active at 267 sites across the country.
A report from TechZim says that all three of the country’s cellcos are participating, while fixed line incumbent TelOne is also sharing tower infrastructure with mobile providers Econet, NetOne and Telecel. In addition, operators are leasing infrastructure from entities such as utility group Powertel, National Railways of Zimbabwe, Transmedia, ZIMRA and local authorities. Network sharing was implemented in Zimbabwe in an effort to keep rollout costs down for telcos as they look to expand network coverage.
