LEGISLATION to liberalise Mozambique’s telecommunications sector is nearing completion and will be presented to cabinet and parliament for approval soon, the country’s deputy minister of transport and communications, Antonio Fernandes, said on Thursday. The new law will allow Mozambique’s state telecom company, TDM, to commercialise or partially privatise core services by teaming up with foreign joint-venture partners. Speaking after an African Advanced Level Telecommunications Institute steering committee meeting in Maputo, Fernandes said that a draft version of the new bill is virtually complete.
