Help your country by exposing corruption
I have never ever imagined in my wildest imagination that Weyane will go so low (near to the ground) and appoint a CHEMIST
as a telecom regulator. The famous Ethiopian saying goes “September (our new year) won’t draw closer earlier than
we take notice of implausible story”. I am an Ethiopian by origin, living happily with my British husband and two beautiful
daughters. Both I and my husband work for the British Telecom. This is to say we are well out in the open to the telecom and
the regulatory framework. Restructuring incumbent telecommunications operators, introducing competition, and remodeling regulatory
frameworks can never ever be done by a mathematics or a chemistry graduate. It is a joke. I feel like being trapped by a friendly
April the fool trick. Countries like Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan have led the way
in setting up independent regulatory authorities, and many other countries in Africa too are following their lead. This is
a major step forward and is delivering positive results for consumers.

The Ethiopian government's decision to separate the operator from the regulator in 1996 was a step in the right direction.
Ethiopia has NOT yet privatized the telecom. But in due course the government will surely privatize. I read recently in the
Reporter Amharic weekly that private ISPs are allowed to operate in Ethiopia. The ISPs will by law be forced to use ETCs gateway.
I doubt ETC has got a sufficient backbone to speed up this process and make the venture successful. I know ETC has recently
bought a very expensive broadband system which is kept idle. I don't know how much that may help. It could be of some help.
It goes without saying Mobile and data services will be privatized soon. Privatizing the land line may take some time. This
small privatization is the "refreshment stand" Weyane has planned to give to its western “buddies” who failed,
though reluctantly, to endorse the naked electoral fraud
