THE Global System for Mobile Communication Association of Zambia (GSMAZ) says the telecommunications sector has negatively been affected by the current prolonged load-shedding affecting the country.
In a statement yesterday, GSMAZ explained that the majority of over 3,500 towers (belonging to all the three mobile network providers) are connected to the national electricity grid.
The statement said although back-up power is available through generators at the sites where the towers are located, in instances where there is electricity downtime and extended load-shedding hours, the provision of quality service is compromised.

Where are these blood suckers gen sets? Even a simple single shop as Shoprite owns its own back up Generator. So all along these mediocres in the name of Telecoms companies, have been sucking our blood dry? Our Zesco dry? They should ve been the ones supplying their excess power to Zesco, in the first place. So no difference with a Kalingalinga old retired folk. Nabo same whatsup group. Zesco dependants.
