COMTEL Project
COMTEL Project is a program of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) aimed at creating a regional telecommunications infrastructure[1] for the 21 member states via a fiber backbone. This will help member states get rid of satellite links they currently use for their transit traffic between themselves going via Europe, America and Asia.
Implementation
[edit | edit source]COMESA allegedly entered into an agreement with the Anderberg-Ericsson Consortium of Mauritus as a strategic equity partner;[2] however, it was subsequently reported that Ericsson would not participate as an equity partner.[3] On February 26, 2007, it was announced that the COMTEL Project had encountered delays, leading to individual member countries developing their own regional telecommunication infrastructures.[4]
