Demand was forecast to grow to 500k subscribers by 1996. The recent deregulation of the telecoms sector (via the break-up of TPTC into TPC and TTCL) and the formation of a regulator (TCC) had

Along with the weakening of traditional operator business models due to IP substitution, these trends are likely to limit the impact of both subscription and revenue growth opportunities for ICT players, and widen the country’s digital gap.
