As part of phase-III 4G LTE service network expansion strategic plan, Ethio telecom launched 4G LTE services in 67 towns and upgraded 4G LTE network expansions in 27 towns.
The 4G LTE service, which started in Addis Abeba two years ago, is now available in 181 towns and cities across Ethiopia.
“We are also committed to upgrading and expanding 4G LTE service to meet the ever-growing data demands of our esteemed customers and based on the high data traffic/ usage in the time ahead,” Ethio telecom said in a statement.
Its officials said the high-speed features and reliable data services of 4G LTE “will play critical roles in enabling and empowering our customers to join the digital world, increase productivity and improve their experiences.”
The state-owned Ethio Telecom, a subject of a partial privatization bid, plans to increase its subscriber base to 73.5 million, and generate 75.05 billion Birr in annual revenues by “improving service delivery and by increasing customer satisfaction, retention, and loyalty,” among others.
