13 Jun 2019
On 13 June 2019, the Ethiopian parliament approved the Communication Service Proclamation, which for the first time liberalises the telecom sector in the country. Article 54 of the Proclamation declares that ‘telecommunications services, including ownership of a Telecommunications Operator or a Telecommunications Network, shall be open without limitation to private investors including both domestic investors and foreign investors.” The Proclamation further introduces the establishment of an independent, transparent, and accountable institution that will regulate all players in the sector.
