Econet Wireless is set to launch the first Third Generation (3G) cellular service in Zimbabwe, placing the country among the few countries on the continent offering the service.
Its good news 3G will be coming to Harare, Zimbabwe. However its about time Econet Wireless put a foot on the commercialization of their lines by the BLACK MARKET. How can a line cost more than mobile phone? Mobile operators in Zimbabwe have turned a blind eye on this issue; in developed countries GSM lines are almost for FREE, what you pay for is the MOBILE handset & mostly the SERVICE. I should be able to go to the market place & be able to get an Econet Line with no hassle as to the price and the unusually long queue. Make these lines avaliable to the whole country; the BLACK market will dissappear! Into thin air!
