MTN Ghana has announced that it will adopt a cautious approach in shutting down its 2G and 3G networks, ensuring customers have sufficient time to transition to 4G.
Speaking at a press briefing during the Digital Africa Summit in Accra, MTN Ghana CEO Stephen Blewett acknowledged that many subscribers still depend on the older networks. He explained that some customers prefer 3G as a way of managing data usage, while others continue to use devices that are not 4G-compatible.
“A lot of our customers are still operating on 3G. Even though 4G is widely available, some choose to stay on 3G because they feel data usage is faster on 4G. Others, however, use older devices that don’t support 4G,” Mr. Blewett noted.
He stressed that while MTN remains committed to optimizing spectrum through the eventual shutdown of 2G and 3G, the move will be gradual to avoid excluding users.
“If we push to shut down 2G and 3G without ensuring customers have affordable 4G devices, we risk leaving people behind,” he emphasized.
