NCA expands licensing portfolio to include broadband satellite services – Joe Anokye

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has expanded its satellite licensing regime to include recent broadband satellite services, according to the Director General at NCA, Dr. Joe Anokye.

At a media briefing on Sunday, March 24, to update the country on the recent internet disruptions occasioned by the undersea cable cuts, Mr. Anokye indicated that the Authority “has been forward-looking” over the last 10 years.

“We did not have a framework until recently, the hardworking engineering team put together one of the very important frameworks so we are now ready; the board has approved the framework, so NCA is ready to entertain applications from satellite broadband,” he stated.

As a forward-looking entity, Mr. Anokye said, “The NCA has augmented our existing satellite licensing portfolio to include recent broadband satellite services to provide alternative connectivity options for domestic and enterprise users.”
