South Sudan's ICT Ministry is trying to make mobile and internet bills cheaper after sitting down with Zain's CEO to hash out why communication costs are so high in the country. Minister Ateny Wek Ateny basically said affordable internet matters for schools, businesses, and getting people online in general, and the government wants to lighten the load on service providers so they can drop prices without tanking their operations.
The country has over five million people using mobile and internet services, and the Ministry is betting that cutting costs for telecom companies will trickle down to consumers. The whole plan is about finding a sweet spot where providers can stay afloat while regular people can actually afford to stay connected.
