Telecel Zimbabwe has accused state-owned mobile operator NetOne of refusing to share tower infrastructure.
Telecel Zimbabwe CEO Aimable Mpore made the accusation in response to questions about Telecel's shareholding structure from the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Media, Information and Communication Technology.
He said Telecel has worked well with TelOne and Econet in sharing towers but noted that NetOne has dismantled Telecel's equipment because the facilities belong to them.
According to the Herald newspaper, Mpore said for site-sharing to happen there has to be enforcement and that cannot be done by operators.
