The government of Sierra Leone has published a timeline outlining a series of steps towards the revision of the country’s telecommunications legislation and liberalisation of the international gateway, PC Advisor reports. The government has committed to breaking state-owned telco Sierratel’s monopoly on the international gateway after the arrival of the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) cable system, which landed in Freetown in October 2011. The World Bank is providing USD30 million to fund Sierra Leone’s connection to the 17,000km cable system, which is expected to become operational during the second half of 2012.
