Conclusion
The Government and the regulatory authorities should design their
policies not only to ensure that the country reaches 100% tele-
density in the next 3 years but also ensure that it comes through a
sustainable and profitable business model.
The real challenge for the regulators is to combine healthy growth of
the industry with low tariff, which takes into account the interests of
both the consumers and the service providers.
