Mobile phone subscriptions in the small east African nation reached 2.53 million last year versus 2.24 million in 2012. “Some companies which were just covering the capital Bujumbura are now present in a large part of the country,” regulator ARCT said in its report. Competition between operators in reducing call prices and handset costs has also contributed to the rise in subscribers, ARCT added.
