A UNDP official states Cameroon was "sold cheaply" to foreign telecom operators and explains

Daniel Nadjiber, a member of the UNDP Central Committee, criticized during the Grand Debate on CAM 10 Television the 75 billion FCFA paid for telecom license renewals, considering it undervalues the sector's economic potential. He estimates that with about 10 million subscribers spending at least 100 FCFA daily, an operator could recoup this amount in less than 75 days, indicating the country was sold cheaply. He also denounces high service costs and poor network quality.
