Ethio telecom has made tariff discounts.


The state-owned telecom monopoly, Ethio telecom, has made tariff discounts on broadband internet and VPN services. The cut benefits residential users who will receive a 69pc discount, while 72pc and 65pc discounts will be given to VPN and enterprise users, respectively, Ethio telecom executives announced today. Frehiwot Tamiru, CEO of Ethio telecom, made the announcement today at an event at the Sheraton Addis Hotel. The announcement came right after the company completed an expansion of its services at a cost of 748 million Br. The expansion, developed in partnership with the Chinese telecom giant ZTE, is expected to boost the speed of broadband internet connections for private users and enterprise subscribers by 3 to 4 fold.
