Abstract
Because of advances in technology service provision, the regulator has adopted a technology neutral licensing regime. However, it is challenged with issues of interconnection and uncompetitive practices, largely driven by the incumbents. Increased competition resulting from the entry of service providers in a generally ‘small’ market has given users a stronger bargaining position. Various initiatives of government and the private sector in growing the optical-fiber backbone will go a long way in enhancing various services, particularly for regions remote from the capital. There is great need for public-private partnering to realise performance objectives.
