Ministry of ICT plans to reduce internet costs
Ministry of ICT Permanent Secretary Aminah Zawedde says that her ministry and telecom companies are working on proposals to reduce the cost of internet connectivity. According to figures from the Uganda Communications Commission, internet penetration stands at 59%, which is still below global standards. This has been attributed to the cost of smartphone devices. This was announced during the two-day MTN ICT Expo held at the Mestil Hotel in Kampala.
