Regulatory Framework

The program directly targets homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses with the goals of reducing the digital divide in both urban and rural area, enabling broader access to online education and healthcare services and supporting local economic development and digital commerce. 

ENACOM will oversee the rollout using measurable benchmarks, enforcing technical standards and connectivity thresholds that service providers must meet. This regulatory structure ensures transparency and accountability throughout implementation.

Infrastructure Priorities

The plan focuses on:

  • High-capacity fiber optic systems connecting urban centers and rural communities

  • Deployment and expansion of 5G infrastructure in underserved zones

Monitoring and Compliance

Deployment progress will be tracked through defined quality indicators. These metrics will help assess real coverage improvements and identify underserved areas needing additional support
