The Ethiopian Communications Authority (ECA) has launched the final request for proposal (RFP) inviting bids from telecom companies to issue two nationwide full-service licenses. The project is based on the government's decision to liberalize the telecom industry in Ethiopia.
Two international operators will secure nationwide full-service licenses with the government telecommunication company, Ethio telecom, and will be licensed for 15 years. The license, which is subject to renewal, will enable the companies to provide mobile, internet and fixed call services.
The bid will be open for one month until April 5, 2021, and the National Evaluation Committee will handle the technical and financial evaluations, which are expected to be finalized by mid-May.
