Telkomsel and Vonage to collaborate on network APIs

The two competitors in what is an effective mobile operator duopoly in Ethiopia have both made headlines this week with upbeat news.

WOM Colombia has announced plans to roll out its 5G networks this year, following a bailout from new investors that rescued the operator from bankruptcy last week.

Vodacom Group has received the green light from South Africa’s competition watchdog to acquire a stake in fibre infrastructure provider Maziv, a move that supports the operator’s ambition to expand connectivity in underserved areas.
