With the network already established, Viettel which operates in Tanzania under the brand Halotel plans to provide 1,500 more villages with 3G services to double its reach to a total of 3,000 across the country’s all 26 regions.

Mkuu usimbishie, hivi vitu vipo vinachangiwa na level ya elimu ya mtu, access ya kupata news e.t.c. Kuna watu wako nyuma sana hasa vijijini. Most likely that guy is a small farmer in a small village in Kenya.

You know you are dumb when you think farming is an uncivilized career.

Totally full of primitive energy. Stupidity is a choice though and that's the path he chose, I can't blame him.

Tanzania's mobile phone penetration hits over 90 pct

DAR ES SALAAM, July 11 (Xinhua) -- At least 94 percent of Tanzanians are using mobile phone communication services, a senior government official said on Wednesday.

Atashasta Nditiye, the Deputy Minister for Works, Transport and Communication, said: "We are working to ensure the remaining 6 percent of people get the service in the near future."

He was speaking at a seminar for members of the Standing Parliamentary Committee for Infrastructure organized by the government's Universal Communications Service Access Fund (UCSAF) in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam.

However, the deputy minister said over 70 percent of the country's population of about 54 million people have not been connected to Internet services.

"There were only 17.3 million people connected to Internet services by 2015," said Nditiye, adding that the communication sector was growing annually, making enormous contribution to the national income.

He said UCSAF was working to improve internet services at public schools where it has managed to connect more than 250 schools countrywide.

He said Internet services at public schools will partly solve challenges related to shortage of teachers as students will be learning online.

UCSAF was established with a view to promoting universal access to information and communication technology services in Tanzania.

It is also responsible for enabling accessibility and participation by communication operators in the provision of communication services with a view of promoting social-economic development of the rural and urban population.
