Radio Communications Forum: Five Key Areas Identified to Overcome Deployment Obstacles

In Côte d'Ivoire, sector stakeholders have identified that electromagnetic wave fears are no longer the main barrier to radio network deployment. Instead, land conflicts, community rivalries, and administrative constraints, such as access to public lands, are the primary issues. The AIGF proposes a five-pronged strategy to address these challenges and improve coverage and service quality. The sixth session of the Radio Communications Forum was held in Abidjan, involving representatives from government, regulators, operators, and the audiovisual, aviation, and maritime sectors.
