(Business in Cameroon) - Today, April 26, 2018, the Cameroonian minister of posts and telecommunication Minette Libom Li Likeng (photo), is meeting with CAMTEL, the telecommunication regulatory agency (ART) and the national ICT agency ANTIC. During these various meetings, she will assess each of those public agencies’ implementation of the recommendations and corrective measures prescribed by the audit published on October 27, 2017. 

For the record, the audit revealed that the quality of the services offered by the operators was continually worsening because of their non-compliance with the terms of agreement and the regulator’s failure in its assistance to those operators. In the audit’s result, Cybercom Group which realized it informed that the operators’ investment was not proportionate to the increase of their subscribers. Furthermore, technical failure in equipment settings and non-compliance to international standards was discovered and the bandwidth was not optimized.   

Despite all those failures, Cameroon decided not to sanction the operators and various regulators. It rather gave them a 6-month moratorium (which should expire by the end of April 2018) to let them implement the prescriptions.
