Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner (RC) Paul Makonda has urged public institutions to make use of the Tanzania Telecommunication Company Limited (TTCL) products to make it grow and contribute to robust telecom sector.

Mr Makonda said in Dar es Salaam on Monday at the launch of the TTCL customer services week he will begin by persuading all public institutions working under his authority as way of supporting government efforts to make TTCL market leader. He said also the use of the various TTCL services is a way of giving support to the government initiative to repossess telecom firm by 100 per cent.

“I call upon all public enterprises that owe the TTCL to clear their outstanding debts before taking legal measures. The telecom firm will continue offering high quality services if customers pay debts on time,” he said.

On his part, the TTCL Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr Waziri Kindamba said TTCL adopted ‘Business Transformation Project’ in 2014 with an objective to increase efficiency and accountability in order to deliver high standard services to the people and all national and foreign customers.

He said one of the successes since when the business transformation launched is the repossession of the telecom firm by 100 per cent stake and making possible the availability of 3G and 4G.

TTCL launched Fourth Generation - Long Term Evolution (4G-LTE) in December last year, which is a standard for wireless communication of highspeed data for mobile phones and data terminals.

The potential and current applications of 4G-LTE include the amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, highdefinition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television and cloud computing.
