Roshan launches 3G

Afghanistan’s Roshan has launched its 3G network, with coverage initially available in in Kabul, and then rolled out nationwide.

Last month Roshan secured a loan from the International Finance Corporation, totalling US$147 million, to support the acquisition of the company’s 3G spectrum licence and continued development of network infrastructure.

"It has always been Roshan’s vision to leverage technology and innovation to bridge critical needs gaps and improve the lives of those in the community. 3G Jahaan is the next step in that vision, and a leap forward for the people of Afghanistan," Karim Khoja, Roshan CEO, said.
