(Telecompaper) Ethio Telecom has split its network infrastructure department into five divisions for service efficiency as it prepares to remain competitive after the liberalisation of the telecom sector, reports Addis Fortune. The country's sole telecom operator is also hoping to lease its infrastructure to the two operators that are expected to join the industry in 2021. It plans to generate income by renting out its 7,100 towers and over 22,000 km of fibre optics to interested telecom operators.
