Imagine a world where the digital divide no longer separates communities, where every individual has connectivity at their fingertips. This vision drives MTN's efforts to extend mobile network coverage in rural Africa. Many rural areas lack telecom infrastructure, leaving more than 200 million people without mobile services. MTN Zambia, in partnership with Africa Mobile Network (AMN), brings 2G, 3G, and 4G connectivity to these areas using solar-powered, self-sustaining stations. This initiative includes providing affordable mobile phones and establishing airtime dealers and mobile money agents. The impact is profound!
