Huawei is ready to partner with Zambia’s mobile operators and regulators to expand information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure in the country. This also can lead to considerable reduction in internet charges, a bane of most of the African countries, where value added services of internet are highly priced.
Zambia is one among the African courtiers, which is striving hard to make the internet accessible and affordable to masses to deepen the digitization process in the country. In the meantime, Huawei said cheap internet connectivity is possible with collective effort from all ICT players present in the country.
According to the National ICT Survey access to the internet has dramatically increased from 12% in 2015 to 17% in 2018 nationally. The survey also showed that Smartphone users have increased from 13.5% in 2015 to 29.6% in 2018. The ownership of mobile cellular phones has significantly increased. In 2018, 6.8% of individuals of Zambia knew how to use a computer nationally. ICT experts feel that the number of users of smartphones in the country might have gone up phenomenally in recent years as also the number of PC users.
