Namibia does not have a Telecom problem. It has an infrastructure architecture problem
Here is how to fix it.
By Gibel Boye
Telecom Namibia has apologised twice in eight weeks. CRAN has summoned them. Businesses lost days.
Citizens lost patience.
The conversation that starts now will go the same way every conversation like this goes, unless someone is willing to say the harder thing out loud.
So let me say it. This is not a Telecom Namibia problem. It is an infrastructure problem. And infrastructure problems are not fixed by apologies or by the next modernisation announcement.
They are fixed by changing how the network is built, who is accountable for keeping it running, and what the regulator is allowed to do when it stops.
