On October 21 1998, MTN Uganda launched commercial services in Uganda, just six months after licensing. MTN has since grown to be the leading telecommunications company in Uganda servicing in excess of 1,600,000 customers and we are still growing.
The license required that MTN provide 89,000 lines in the first five years of operation. MTN adopted a wireless approach to providing telecommunications services to the Ugandan market. This has proved to be convenient and fast in the rolling out of services. Despite insufficient infrastructure (power, roads e.t.c.), MTN has covered in excess of 90% of the urban population, providing services in over 150 towns and villages and their immediate environments.
MTN Uganda's policy of affordable tariffs and availability of services, backed by distribution and innovative marketing, opened up a broad market to telecommunications. As a result, Uganda's tele-density has more than quadrupled. Before MTN launched its services, the tele-density in Uganda was one of the lowest in Africa at 0.27%. Today MTN has contributed to the growth in tele-density in Uganda to about 7%. Comtel Integrators Africa currently supplies MTN with their CISCO and HP equipment.
