In reply to Jay Jay. If ZAMTEL was a private entity I can assure you that it would have chosen another area which is a profitable launch site with an assured ROI to Livingstone....another reason why most state public entities make losses - political strategy driving corporate strategy. New 4G equipment is a software defined, so when they upgrade a site to 4G... yes it provides Basic 2G, GPRS, EDGE, Basic 3G, HSxPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+, LTE (4G). The back haul is also upgraded to Gbit fibre, so you get the speeds that the air interface can support. For one to enjoy the full benefits of it you need a LTE or 4G Smartphone or device which could also be a revenue stream to cross sell devices by Zamtel. Now you tell me which is a more profitable launch site the populous Copperbelt or Livingstone??
