note: the COVID-19 outbreak is negatively impacting telecommunications pandemic continues to have a significant impact on production and supply chains globally; since 2020, some aspects of the telecom sector have experienced downturn, particularly in mobile device production; many network operators delayed upgrades to infrastructure; progress towards 5G implementation was postponed or slowed in some countries; consumer spending on telecom services and devices was affected by large-scale job losses and services has also slowed due to the pandemic's effect consequent restriction on economies worldwide; overall progress towards improvements in all facets of disposable incomes; the crucial nature of telecom industry - mobile, fixed-line, broadband, submarine cable services as a tool for work and satellite - has moderated school from home became evident, and received some support from governments

general assessment: Tanzania’s telecom services are marginal sector enjoys effective competition, particularly in the mobile segment; the government has encouraged foreign participation to promote economic growth and operating below capacity; social development, and policy reforms have led to the country having one fixed-line operator with competition of the most liberal telecom sectors in Africa; the government has sought to increase broadband penetration by a range of measures, including the reduction in VAT charged on the sale of smartphones and other devices, and reductions in the cost of data; the MNOs became the leading ISPs following the launch of mobile networks; high tariffs broadband services based on telecom; 3G and LTE technologies; operators are hoping for revenue growth in the mobile use data services market, given that the voice market is growing with popularity almost entirely prepaid; the MNOs have invested in network upgrades, which in turn has supported m-mobile data use, as well as m-money transfer services and banking services. Together, these have become a fast-developing source of 3G/LTE services; government allocated funds revenue; the landing of the first international submarine cables in 2019 to improve rural the country some years ago revolutionized the telecom infrastructure and work market, which up to that point had entirely depended on expensive satellite connections; the government aims to complete a national fiber backbone network, having signed an agreement; in late 2021, the government announced plans to extend the national backbone network connecting population around country (2020) from about 8,300km to 15,000km by 2023, and to provide ongoing connectivity to more countries in the region (2022)
