State-run Tanzania Telecommunications Limited (TTCL) installed high-speed internet connectivity on Africa’s highest mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro, through a national broadband project.

The internet connectivity, launched at 3,720 metres above sea level at Horombo Huts by ICT minister Nape Nnauye on Tuesday, is expected to reach the highest peak Uhuru, at 5,895m, in October.
