Given that Telone is not investing in maintaining or improving their fixed lines infrastructure, shouldn’t it just migrate major customers to VoIP?
According to a business update published by state-owned telecoms enterprise, TelOne, the operator has registered profits of $479,000 in the first half year of 2015, a figure which represents a positive turn from last year’s half-year loss of $7 million.

Telone has introduced hotspots at food outlets in partnership with Innscor. This could be a good development as it quickly multiplies Telone’s numbers and attracts traffic to Innscor outlets.

We also discuss other topics that have been trending in Zimbabwean tech like the sale of Telecel, TelOne activating its mobile network operator licence, startup competitions like Muzinda Hub’s startup weekend and the latest on infrastructure sharing.
TelOne, one of the more disruptive players this year, recently started a promotion for its WiFi service. The $1-for-100 MB service has been had one major change with an additional 250 MB thrown in for the $1 voucher.
It turns out that TelOne now wants to make use of its mobile network licence by pursuing a partnership with another state-owned mobile operator, NetOne. This will make TelOne the fourth mobile operator and brings into play some interesting dynamics on infrastructure sharing.
TelOne has increased the speeds of its ADSL packages, offerings downloads of up to 4 Mbps on part of its lineup. This looks like another adjustment to shore in more subscribers in a tough environment and will likely trigger more changes from other operators.
Telone Center for Learning in conjunction with Potraz will hold a Southern Africa (SADC) Telecommunications Symposium on the 9th to 11th which will focus on Infrastructure Sharing. The event is an exclusive meetup of top level management responsible for or involved in network infrastructure negotiations and policies.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that there is a TelOne ADSL blackout across the whole of Zimbabwe.
