Aug 7th, 2009 by admin
Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania are to receive 151 million US dollars from the World Bank to improve their communication sectors. The funding is part of a wider project aimed at linking eastern and southern Africa to reliable and high-capacity communication services. The region is the only one not fully connected to the world’s broadband networks, and has low number of telephone and internet users, as well as high tariffs. Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania will receive 20 million US dollars, 31 million US dollars and 100 million US dollars respectively. The project is expected to provide high speed and cheaper internet access, and improve information, communications and technology for the countries.
