Airtel expands rural reach, digital gap narrows

Airtel Tanzania just locked in Phase 10 of its deal with the Universal Communication Service Access Fund to throw up cell towers in the sticks. Communications Minister Angellah Jasmine Mbelwa Kairuki showed up for the signing, and the company is building 132 out of 201 towers that need to go up across different wards.

The whole thing is about getting rural areas wired up so people outside cities can actually use their phones. All the telecom providers have to pitch in on closing the connectivity gap, and Airtel is positioning itself as the main player pushing this forward.
