(Business in Cameroon) - During a recent meeting between the management of regulatory bodies in the telecom sector in Gabon and Cameroon, the parties took the resolution to reduce roaming costs between Gabon and Cameroon.

This decrease in costs will be done, we learned, through the construction of infrastructure enabling direct telecom links between the two countries, thereby avoiding transits through foreign countries which contribute to the increase in roaming costs. This, we learned from reliable sources, will be carried out as part of Alliance Smart Africa, to which Cameroon and Gabon adhere.

Launched in 2013 on the initiative of the Rwandan President, Paul Kagamé, this partnership gathering several African countries and telecom equipment manufacturers such as Huawei or Ericsson, is meant to lessen the digital gap between sub-Saharan Africa and other world regions, and bring ICT at the heart of development on the Dark Continent.
