Malawi Telecommunications, the country's sole provider of fixed telecom services, has announced plans to lay underground fiber-optic cables throughout the country at a cost of $30 million.
Increased user demand for technology has necessitated the project, according to Lester Tandwe, MTL head of IT. Malawi has entered into massive telecom infrastructure development in order to compete with other countries in the region, he added.

The company will kick off the project Dec. 1, Tandwe said, laying 50 kilometers of cable each day in order to launch services quickly.
"The first part of the cable project will be operational by April 2009, while the second part will be operational by 2010 and will connect to international cables to provide international bandwidth," he explained.
