LUSAKA — Zambia's communications regulatory authority ordered Tuesday the country's five main Internet service providers (ISPs) to cease operating after they failed to renew their licences.
.
"The Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority has directed five ISPs in the country to cease their operations as well as providing the associated services, effective October 8, 2010," a statement said.
They must "cease operations because their licences had expired," it said.
The companies are Zambia's main Internet providers and service thousands of people. There are only three others in the country.
The affected companies are Realtime Zambia, Coppernet Solutions Limited, Microlink Technologies Limited, Pronet Zambia Limited and Zamnet Communications Systems Limited.
