Gambia Hosts African Satellite Communications Meeting

Gambia hosted an African satellite communications meeting on Monday and Tuesday to review the IT development and mull its future strategy in the continent.

The 11th Ordinary Meeting of Regional African Satellite Communications Organization (RASCOM) Assembly brought together African ministers of communication and information technology.

RASCOM was established in 1993 as an intergovernmental organization with an objective to provide on a commercial basis national and international public telecommunication services, including sound and television broadcasting in Africa.

The satellite is expected to save African countries millions of dollars previously paid every year to foreign operators and provide high quality and low cost telecoms, Internet, television and radio services across the continent.
