Uganda has two national telecom operators, namely, Mobile telecommunications Network (MTN) - a South Africa led consortium, and Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL), which was privatised in 2000. The companies provide mobile cellular phone networks, paging services and other modern communication services to meet the business needs of users.
Service delivery is improving steadily with various players introducing new products into the market. For instance, MTN announced plans to set up a fibre-optic network in Uganda, expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2001.
