Zim slashes telco fees to cut data, call costs

Officials plan to overhaul fees and licenses for broadcast and telecom companies. Information Minister Jenfan Muswere stated that this review aims to lower data and calling costs for consumers. The process will target mobile networks, internet providers, and various radio and television services.

The government believes current regulatory fees are too high, forcing businesses to pass expenses to customers. This initiative seeks to simplify permits and cut bureaucratic overlap between ministries. It follows similar reviews in other economic sectors like agriculture and transport. The broader goal is to improve the business climate by reducing operational hurdles for companies.
