While in Ghana, Cynthia Gordon, called on the Minister of Communications, Dr Omane Boamah expressed his commitment to ensure fairness among the players in the telecom industry.

She expressed optimistic that the early introduction of key enablers such as a technology neutral unified license would support universal usage of spectrum.

She was very impressed with the vision to develop the market and the high levels of support and cooperation.

“We share a common passion to a working partnership for the benefits of mobile broadband to Ghanaians and this will accelerate GDP growth and socio-economic development,” she explained.
