Tanzania Telecom Sector
Telecommunication facilities in Tanzania are available in most parts of the country and are linked to the rest of the world through Dar es Salaam, the country's commercial capital.
Until 1993, the Tanzania Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (TPTC) not only regulated this sector, but also held a monopoly in the provision of communications in Tanzania.
When the Communications Act was enacted, as part of the government's move to liberalize the communications sector in the country, the Tanzania Posts and Telecommunications Corporation was split into three different entities: the Tanzania Posts Corporation (TPC), the Tanzania Telecommunications Company Limited (TTCL) and the Tanzania Communication Commission (TCC).
Furthermore, in 1997 the National Telecommunications Policy (NTP) was launched.
Since then, the telecommunications sector has become partially liberalized and competition has grown in mobile cellular services, radio paging, internet services and data communications services.
Today, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) sector in Tanzania has been completely liberalized.
Within such a framework, the Tanzania Telecommunications Company Limited (TTCL) was privatized in 2001.
Since then, the communications sector in the country has played an important role in the social and economic development of Tanzania and it is expected to continue to do so in the future.
