ethio telecom

Ethio telecom, previously known as the Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation, is an Ethiopian telecommunication company serving as the major internet, telephone and digital services provider. Ethio Telecom, owned by the Ethiopian government, historically held a monopoly over telecommunication services in Ethiopia. However, with the recent liberalization of the market, Safaricom has entered the Ethiopian market, marking a significant shift in the competitive landscape while Ethio Telecom remains a major player. Based in Addis Ababa, it is one of the "Big-5" group of state owned corporations in Ethiopia, along with Ethiopian Airlines, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Ethiopian Insurance Corporation, and the Ethiopian Shipping Lines.
