generation of digital entrepreneurs can develop their ideas and
collaborate with others to build their online businesses from even
the most remote locations of Tanzania.

demanding of individuals or businesses.

Tanzania with fast broadband services. It is appropriate that, hard

Tanzania.

our next generation of business leaders in the digital economy. No
matter where they are TTCL provides broadband connectivity using
all suitable technologies. This positions TTCL to support the
