UCC’s executive director, Godfrey Mutabazi, commented, ” “We are going to run announcements in the media about this deadline so that at the end of August nobody will have an excuse.”
The director noted that at present 90 percent of consumers have already registered their SIM cards. He also announced researchers were currently working to develop a study that will determine the number of counterfeit phones in Uganda’s network. The study should be completed by September.
