Mozambique's telecom regulator INCM dropped their progress report at a meeting in Inhambane, and it connected over 200 schools to the internet while setting up 12 upgraded Digital Squares with fresh tech. The agency awarded contracts for 60 new cell towers in unconnected zones, opened a cybersecurity lab in Nampula province, and launched ThinkLab as a tech incubator. They also ditched the 5G spectrum auction in favor of handing out frequencies directly to carriers with coverage requirements attached.
Enforcement went hard with 98 site inspections and yanking 863 licenses from radio stations that weren't playing by the rules. The regulator set up ERIST to handle network security incidents across the country, and they started studying voice and data pricing to figure out consumer protection measures. Brazil's ANATEL signed a cooperation deal with INCM, while regulators from Cape Verde and Eswatini showed up to talk about harmonizing regional policies.
The Big Data Project launched to blast emergency alerts through SMS and voice calls based on location data. INCM locked down a partnership with Eduardo Mondlane University to fund telecommunications engineering programs starting next year.
