The Angolan government wants to turn the country into a “regional telecommunications hub”, in which the Instituto Angolano das Comunicações (INACOM) will play an important role in regulating the sector, according to the Minister of Telecommunications, Information Technology and Social Communication, Mário Augusto da Silva Oliveira.
The director who spoke about the swearing-in of the new members of INACOM's Board of Directors, also said that this change in managers of the public institution is the result of the Executive's strategy to continue fine-tuning the machine of the different institutions in the sector with the aim of improving the efficiency of their actions.
Mário Oliveira highlighted the expansion of the sector's services throughout the national territory as another challenge that will require the contribution of the regulatory entity of telecommunications, information technology and social communication service providers.
"In view of the various challenges in the sector, a strong regulator is needed that meets the interests of Angolans and companies"He said.
BUT: INACOM confirms that there are already 7,2 million Internet subscribers in Angola
Therefore, he encouraged those in office to work as a team, as well as defend the laws and the ecosystem of telecommunications and information technology and social communication, aiming at providing a quality service and contributing to the transformation and technological modernization of the country.
Joaquim Muhongo, chairman of the Board of Directors of INACOM, while speaking at the event, informed that he will continue to work towards the creation of a regulatory environment that meets the interests of consumers and operators in the electronic communications market.
It should be noted that at the beginning of the month the President of the Republic, João Lourenço appointed the new heads of administrative functions at INACOM.
