The law governing the telecommunications industry would be reviewed by the end of 2017, the Ministry of Communications, Ursula Owusu Ekuful has hinted.
The new law she noted would bring clarity to the players in the industry and enhance fairness.
“We have policies in the past which drove the issuance of licenses to all manner of people for specific services which has brought a bit of regulatory confusion in this area and we are working towards clarifying that.’’
She added: “I’m sure by the end of this year we should see our way clear towards encouraging industry to also take up the various technologies available so that Ghanaians can get the best experience”.
According to her, the ministry would work hard to enable Ghanaians enjoy 5G network within the shortest possible time.
“The developed countries are talking about internet of things, they are talking about connected devices as well as 5G and we don’t want to be left out of it, we want to be on the fore front of it on the African continent. So we will do whatever we can to facilitate the process we will do that for the industry.”
