MTN Rwanda Faces Daily Fines for Missing Network Quality Standards

Published on:

­MTN's Rwandan subsidiary has refuted claims by the regulator that its network is failing Quality of Service tests, but says that it will be upgrading its network in the reportedly affected areas.

The regulator have given the company a month to upgrade its network in areas where it said the company failed to meet its license conditions, otherwise it will face a Frw3 million per day fine.

MTN says that it carried out its own tests and could not replicate the problems found by the regulator, other than issues beyond its control such as breaks in backhaul fibre.

Nonetheless, the company is continuing network upgrades and is focusing efforts on the regions highlighted by the regulator.

Rival network, Tigo has also been warned that it will need to carry out network upgrades to meet its license conditions.
