Zimbabwe needs one agency to oversee all digital matters, says the telecom watchdog chief. Dr. Machengete told a Harare meeting that old rules cannot handle new tech changes. He wants to combine control of TV, phone, and web services under a single group.
Zimbabwe has already built 120 fast 5G towers, but country parts still lack good service. The meeting brought together tech makers, officials, and business leaders to discuss going digital faster. Many asked for quick law changes and ways to help everyone join the digital world.
The current setup has many different offices handling separate parts of tech with rules that clash or miss new problems. The proposed plan would cut wasted work and make things clearer for companies that want to create new services. His ideas started a fresh talk about how rules can help make new ideas without leaving poor areas behind.
