Vision |
ETC's vision is to see
the entire country connected with state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure that
provides highly qualitative, reliable and secure communication services at
affordable prices.
In line with the company's vision herein listed, mission statements have
been proposed to enable ETC to fulfill the country's development agenda.
Preceding each mission statement, the particular issues intended to be
addressed are introduced.
Despite the increased volume of infrastructure building lately, the majority
of Ethiopians are still deprived of basic telecommunication services. The
telephone density is one of the lowest in the world. The level of ICT
penetration is far worse, poising at 0.08% by population.
In pursuing to deliver basic telecommunication services and solutions based
on modern technologies and with countrywide coverage, ETC will streamline
its provisions of the Fixed, Mobile, Internet and Data services as the
business modalities require and allow. Customer satisfaction will be given
the top most priority as it is going to serve as the success measurement
criteria.
Telecommunication is a profound and distinguishing imperative in the life of
mankind. In this spirit ETC has been investing in the telecommunication
networks and technologies for the past century. However, the digital divide
still characterizes Ethiopia, as it is the least connected with ICT
technologies. Thus, ETC seeks to bring home the latest telecommunication
networks and technologies.
