Red tape obstructs MTC's growth in Namibia

Bureaucratic red tape and long-winded approval procedures meant it took one and a half years for MTC to get the nod for a new base station in Katutura, which then took only two weeks to build. These are among the constraints MTC has faced in its quest to bring 100% network coverage to Namibian consumers, according to the company’s new Managing Director José Ferreira. Briefing the media last week, he said acquiring sites in some towns has proved to be a major hurdle in the company’s quest to improve its network capacity and quality.
