As part of ongoing engagement efforts, working meetings have recently been held with companies including SpeedNet, Netservice, and TechGolden. These sessions are designed to present commercial opportunities linked to the use of capacity from the ANGOSAT-2 satellite, which is central to the country’s strategy for expanding broadband access.
