Cameroon Telecommunications (CAMTEL), Cameroon’s giant in the telecom industry, is currently preparing to launch the country’s first Triple Play offer (service where all subscribers have access to Internet, Telephony and Television), Alwihdainfo.com said reporting a conversation with CAMTEL’s Director General, David Nkotto Emane.

This offer which should go online before “January 2016” will allow its subscribers to, through the optic fiber, access hundreds of TV, International and local radio channels, a fixed telephone line and high-speed Internet. “For now, the offer is still at the experimental stage and the associated authorities are evaluating the rate it is to go for,” CAMTEL’s Director General says.

Triple Play is part of the National Broadband Network (NBN) project which consists in expanding the fiber optic network throughout Cameroon so as to make it available to households through the various services it offers (Triple Play, video-surveillance, e-learning, etc.)

Financed by Eximbank of China, NBN’s second stage just received another funding of 198.9 billion FCFA, according to a presidential decree published on November 2, 2015, authorizing Cameroon’s Minister of Finance to proceed to the loan’s acquisition.
