MTN unveils plan to build R6-billion Africa fibre cable
to build a R6-billion terrestrial fibre cable to connect 10 countries, as telecommunications companies push to expand service to Africa’s growing population.
For MTN, the deal follows its recent venture to land Google’s Equiano subsea cable in Cape Town late last year as part of a push to connect African countries to Europe and the Middle East. While the undersea systems bring fast broadband to coastal cities, inland cables are needed to connect landlocked countries.
