Namibian cellco Mobile Telecommunications (MTC) says it is facing further obstacles in its already-delayed plans to roll out 4G mobile services. Last Wednesday Windhoek City Council deferred a discussion relating to the planned rollout which had been on its monthly agenda – which is just one of a long series of obstacles which MTC says have been put in its path by the municipality, the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) and incumbent Telecom Namibia since it launched plans to roll out advanced high speed wireless radio infrastructure supported by new fibre-optic backhaul links in 2010. According to a report on AllAfrica.com, MTC first applied to the City Council in July 2010 for permission to install underground ducts in Windhoek for the laying of fibre-optic cables, while another application, for laying underground fibre-optic cables to MTC’s cellphone towers in the capital, has been pending since 12 December 2011.
