Africa Telecoms Lacks Clear Law Frameworks, Chireka

Africa’s telecoms sector lacks clear and comprehensive legislative frameworks. This is according to Spiwe Chireka, an industry analyst at Frost and Sullivan.

In a press statement, Chireka, points out that while the absence of comprehensive legislative frameworks placed multinationals in a vulnerable position, there is an element of ‘no pain, no gain’ in play.

He was commenting on the issues faced by MTN Nigeria and Vodacom Congo. On the one hand, the Nigerian Communications Commission and MTN Nigeria Communications have been sued by telecoms company Globacom. On the hand, Vodacom is engaged in a spat with Congolese Wireless Networks, its partner in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, over funding requirements.
