A spotlight was put on expanding broadband infrastructure and optical fibre that connects directly to residences during a discussion between executives from Ethio telecom, the Ministry of Urban & Infrastructure and Huawei Ethiopia last week. State Minister Fenta Dejen said the initiative is positioned as a key strategy for advancing urban areas in line with ongoing efforts to digitise services.
