Zambia selects winner of fourth cellular license

Zambia's Communications Authority has said that South Africa's Vodacom is the sole bidder for the country's fourth cellular license. Vodacom has offered to pay US$100,000 for the license which is being awarded in order to try and expand cellular service outside the cities into the rural areas.
