Government negotiations secure more data and cheaper broadband – Sam George

Speaking on Monday, September 7, at the Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House in Accra, Mr George said the Ministry had chosen engagement and negotiation over simply issuing statements whenever consumers raised concerns about the cost of digital services.

He said the approach had already produced improvements in mobile data allocations, fixed broadband pricing and pay-TV packages, with the aim of reducing the financial burden on households and businesses that depend increasingly on digital services.

Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations Minister Samuel Nartey George says the government is using direct engagement with telecommunications and digital service providers to secure better value for Ghanaian consumers.
