Burkina Faso’s government has decided that in light of rapid technological advances and new use cases, it will strengthen the legal framework and regulation of the telecommunications sector, writes Agence Ecofin.
This week the Council of Ministers met to draft a decree amending the law of 27 November 2008 on the general regulation of networks and services of electronic communication. The proposed decree will go before the National Assembly before it can be passed into law; the aims of the amendment are to improve access to telecoms services for the population and also to protect the sector from practices that could harm its security and economy.
