To date, Ethiopia has only one operational Telecommunication Company: a government monopoly called Ethio Telecom, with 100% of the market share. However, the government has recently issued one license to coalition of companies which are expected to start their operation in 2022. Therefore, according to Article 6 of the Trade Competition law and Article 2 (11) of the Communication Services Proclamation, Ethio Telecom can be deemed to have a dominant market position or a SMP as it is the only telecom service provider at the moment.
