Rwanda has a smaller land size, is more urban and has a higher population density compared to Uganda, all of which make it easier to extend mobile broadband coverage. Another factor adding to higher mobile broadband prices in Uganda is a sector specific service tax of 9%. When combined with VAT, this adds 27% to the cost to access the Internet over a mobile network. The next phase of RCDF is expected to target the extension of fiber backbone network in underserved areas and lowering data costs on national fiber backbone.
