++ #Cameroon Regulator Investigates Service Disruptions Across Major Mobile Networks ++ The Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ART) of Cameroon has alerted the public to the recent decline in the quality of mobile electronic communication services provided by major operators, including MTN Cameroon, ORANGE Cameroon, and CAMTEL, across their 2G/3G/4G networks. ART’s inspections have revealed that this deterioration stems from several key issues, notably insufficient electrical power in the operators’ current networks and challenges in supplying fuel to technical sites, especially in major urban areas. Moreover, repeated fiber optic cable disruptions on parts of the national network have exacerbated the situation. #techafricanews #africa #cameroon #regulator #service #disruption #mobile #telecommunication #network
