The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has formally handed over the 700MHz mobile spectrum licence won at auction by Vodacom Tanzania.
Last month the South Africa-based cellco acquired 2×10MHz for a total price of USD10.005 million, while Azam Telecom paid USD10.000 million for the remaining 2×10MHz on offer. The new 15-year licences include the following coverage obligation: population coverage for broadband services meeting the specified quality of service level should be equal to 60% by the end of 2021, rising to 90% by end of 2024.
