Potraz finalises compulsory infrastructure sharing draft

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) is finalising draft rules for compulsory sharing of infrastructure in the telecoms sector following last month's directive from Government which gave the sector three months to comply.

According to Potraz, infrastructure sharing could cut costs by 15 to 30 percent and reduce individual companies' capital outlay by 60 percent.

POTRAZ acting director general Baxton Sirewu said that after Tuesday's meeting, only the open-house meeting with all stakeholders will be left before the draft rules are sent to the Attorney General's office.
