Hits Telecom was granted a mobile license last March and to date has only carried out test calls. This prompted the the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) to issue a warning to start operations by September or loose its license.
Hits Telecom Uganda major shareholder are based in Abu Dhabi, and the company has been awarded a full telecommunications license, which includes the GSM 900/1800 spectrum, WIMAX broadband, international gateway, mobile virtual network operation and data transmission services.
Uganda’s Daily Monitor quotes the UCC director of communications and consumer affairs, Mr Fred Otunnu, as saying “when you fail to start with in that time, the commission revokes the licence. We know, they are aware of the license requirements,”
