Econet to accelerate WiFi rollout

ECONET Zimbabwe will this year roll out 2 000 public WiFi zones and WiFi-in-vehicles, as the telecoms giant continues to widen its reach.

This comes as other telecommunications providers have also stepped up efforts to get a huge chunk of the market.

In emailed responses to NewsDay, Econet media relations and analytics executive, Fungai Mandiveyi said the company was now aiming to introduce its WiFi on long distance buses and tour vehicles as well as additional commuter omnibuses.
