This situation has implications for competitiveness, and ultimately for the price of services. In contrast, thanks to competitive pricing arrangements prices in Rwanda and Uganda differ very little from what consumers pay in Tanzania, a neighbouring country with access to undersea cable. These countries use cross-border terrestrial connections (Schumann and Kende, 2013). Bhutan has invested in aerial fibre-optic cabling using the power-line infrastructure of the Bhutan Power Corporation, negotiations with Indian service providers to add more fibre-optic cable connections for greater reliability and quality are ongoing.
