Mobile phone provider, TNM, has announced plans to reduce Malawi's poor access to telecom. TNM Products Manager Dan Makata said the programme aimed at matching Malawi's ICT outreach to the standard of continental economic giants like South Africa.
He dispelled notions prevalent in some sectors of the economy that, being a wholly-Malawian company, the pioneering mobile service provider could not much some of her pan-African competitors.
The country has two mobile phone service providers, TNM and Celtel, and the two competitors often compete neck-on-neck in terms of promotions and competitions.
Said Makata: "You may wish to note that in Malawi, TNM leads and others merely follow. We are a fully local company and (we) have the welfare of Malawians at heart," said Makata.
