2014-07-15 09:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) East African countries Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan have mutually agreed to adopt a regional telecommunications framework for a "One Area Network" by 31 December. The project is being implemented as a result of resolutions agreed during the 5th Heads of State Summit for the Northern Corridor Integration Projects held in Nairobi in May. The regional framework will see calls originating and terminating within the region exempt from international and roaming surcharges. Subscribers travelling within the member states will be charged as local subscribers on the visited country network. Operators within the region shall be required to re-negotiate their bilateral agreements to ensure the full implementation of the new rules by 01 September for Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda and 31 December for South Sudan.
