By doing this, is the Government not shielding the other telcos from the consequences of their low productivity; and perhaps even rewarding uncompetitive business?

Just asking please.

Sam George, all these data reduction you have done well but my question is , what's the importance of these data reduction when we can not use the data bought because of the network issues? Currently both my Telecel broadband on my landline and 4G are not working as it is as slow as tortoise so I have to use MTN, though not all that good but better than Telecel. If you call them they won't even pick but ask you for a call back service. What kind of services is this? We need stable internet before all these freebies because there is no point in the freebies when we can't use the data bought. Telecel has been very poor on all areas since it was acquired from Vodafone's. Sam George do something!!!

"DOGE" IS EXTREMELY NECESSARY IN A DEEPLY CORRUPT BANKRUPT THIRD-WORLD HOPELESS NATION LIKE GHANA.

A DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY (DOGE) IN GHANA IS EXTREMELY LONG OVERDUE. GHANA LEADERSHIP IS BULLSHIT. ALL THEY THINK ABOUT IS HOW MONEY THEY CAN FLEECE FROM THE POOR BANKRUPT GHANAIAN TAXPAYER.

WHAT A SHAME!

Charley! If you're worried about anti-trust implications, the right thing to do is NOT to further unwittingly entrench an industry behemoth. The smart thing to do is to introduce smart legislation that will

1) Limit the monopoly threshold of any player in the industry who's reach/growth will become both a national security concern and an almost criminal industry disruptor

2) Concurrently encourage the amalgamation of smaller players and provide them regulatory support to fulfill their mandate while bridging the unhealthy gap between it and the lead industry brand.

3) Apply regulatory instruments to prune down by smart acqusition or other legal means any industry collosus that poses a threat to market dynamics, consumer rights and state security.

4) Fast-tracked legislation to enable substantial state (PPP) participation in the industry with a deliberate focus on continuous state- -of-the-art Tech infrastructure development and superlative B-B/B-C service offerings to maintain proper industry equilibrium for a fair industry playing field which would eventually bring real benefits to all consumers.

Allow us to use MTN and their better services they want to provide to their customers.
The others should also try and get their strategy right to exist in a competitive market.

Myself I'm not very happy about how MTN alone has dominated the ghanaian market. Since they don't have any better competition, they also misbehave at times.
But stopping the MTN zone bundle which will benefit customers with the excuse of they having monopoly, I don't agree with you honourable. I think the other networks should rather up their game and also think of other better ways to offer better services entice customers. We shouldn't encourage mediocrity. Pls bring back our mtn zone bundles.

Ghana,so far so good for you,the cedi strength is US Trump induced,world market price of crude oil which was $ 84-$90/barrel under Nana Addo is now $55-$60/barrel,a 70% teduction,are these the doing of John Mahama’s governance? Just pray that these external favorable out-turns continue or else his incompetence will be exposed big time. If you’re eating from Kwakye Ofosu’s GHC78.8million propaganda largesse leave us alone,I’m begging you wai.

Hon Minister,MTN controlling 80% of market share is a monopoly and a threat to national security,no serious country with honest leadership will tolerate this,AT&T of US used to be like this and it was broken up into several companies for healthy competition,customer satisfaction and national security.This is a matter for both Parliament and cabinet,the company is wealthy and will pay any amount as bribe to maintain the status quo.

Dear Minister, please stop the telcos from putting a time limit on the use of the data bundles! It will be huge step towards your efforts in making data cheaper and affordable. Thank you.
