Ethio telecom has completed the first year of its three-year “Next Horizon: Digital & Beyond” strategy and is targeting a customer base of 96.2 million, according to a company update reported by Fana Media Corporation on September 4, 2026.
Chief executive Frehiwot Tamiru said the operator recorded growth in its customer base and digital services during the strategy’s first year. The plan covers the 2024/25 to 2027/28 period and is intended to support Ethio telecom’s broader shift toward becoming a technology-driven company.
