Improving Mobile Phone Coverage Across Lake Victoria

Mobile phone coverage across Africa's Lake Victoria is to be expanded in a joint venture between Zain, and Ericsson, in an initiative coordinated by the GSM Association. The coverage will comprise the area of the lake where 80 percent of fishing activities take place, allowing communication and SMS exchange to and from phones. This enhancement will fuel economic and social development of the lakeside communities and potentially reduce the number of fishing-related deaths each year.  more
