Cape Town – South Africa will not get 100% mobile broadband coverage by 2020, but the reason has nothing to do with spectrum, says an industry insider.
“I am concerned that government will not achieve the 100% penetration target, but the reason for this is not related to the issue of freeing up LTE spectrum,” Eckart Zollner, the head of Business Development at the Jasco Group told News24.
The company is a cross system integration specialist operating in Sub-Saharan Africa. Frequency spectrum is key to the rollout of Long Term Evolution, or LTE high networks, key to the country’s mobile expansion.
