Zimbabwe Econet bags strong growth

Harare, 21 July-(ANA)-Zimbabwe's largest telecoms operator - Econet Wireless - has reported a strong improvement in performance due to its accelerated drive to sign on new subscribers.

 

Econet chief executive Douglas Mboweni reported stronger than expected airtime usage, according to an Itnewsafrica.com report. This has driven monthly turnover significantly above the January and February levels.

 

Mboweni said that contract lines were now available on demand, whilst queues for prepaid lines were getting shorter and shorter with some Econet shops no longer having queues.


He said apart from expanding the network and improving quality, enhancement of the product range would also be a key focus area.

Mboweni said focus in the company was shifting to providing new services such as wireless Internet, data services for specialist applications, 3G, and broad band.(ANA)
