The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has opened a public consultation on the framework for monitoring coverage obligations of the country’s mobile network operators (MNOs).
The consultation has called for comments on aspects such as data collection, reporting and verification. Each cellco is required to submit an annual coverage implementation plan and regular progress reports.
TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database notes that Uganda’s mobile market is dominated by two main players, MTN and Airtel, which between them account for around 95% of all subscriptions. Uganda Telecom Ltd (UTL) and Smile Communications serve the remainder.
