Rwanda gets its third national telecommunication operator - Millicom International Cellular (MIC). The company paid $67 million to secure a license and would operate under the 072 digit code. It has since invested close to $52m in a national network rollout covering at least 13 districts to-date.
Tigo plans various promotional activities to unveil its products to the Rwandan market, Itnewsafrica.com reported.
Alex Camara, Tigo’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said: “What we are doing today is rollout our products on the market officially but there are many more activities that will be taking place subsequently.”
“Tigo plans to offer the best prepaid plan in the market with the most affordable rates to call any time and to any number in Rwanda,” it said in a statement issued last week.
The company last year beat numerous telecom giants, which included Zain, to win the license to operate as Rwanda’s Third National Operator (TNO) after Rwandatel and MTN Rwanda.
Tigo is a brand of Millicom International Cellular, a multi-national telecommunications company with operations in 13 countries including three in Central America, three in South America and seven in Africa. As a brand in Africa, Tigo has been operational since 2006.
