The telecoms regulator conducted the launch following negotiations over frequencies and deployment conditions. The operator presents this step as a way to improve connections and support new digital uses.

Coverage is due to expand to other provinces. The economic gains cited by officials remain goals: available information provides neither measured productivity results nor a complete timetable for nationwide coverage.
