RAG TV: From Tariff Harmonization to Tax Audits to Number Plan Loopholes

Francis Afful of MTN Ghana and Guy Howie of Biaas were the guests for a show that was entertaining, varied and informative.

It is impossible to think of a short way to describe the topics covered during Episode 5 of the second season of RAG Television. Francis Afful, Senior RAFM Manager at MTN Ghana, and number plan expert Guy Howie were both excellent guests, and they contributed to a conversation that addressed:

  • Mobileum’s acquisition of SIGOS
  • Accusations that Huawei is a national security risk and human rights abuser
  • Margin risks caused by West African telcos harmonizing their tariffs
  • The best and worst ways to tackle interconnect bypass
  • How to reduce customer complaints about incorrect charging
  • National telecoms revenue audits
  • The ITU’s inability to track changes in national dial plans
  • Mobile malware being spread for the next generation of Nigerian 419 scams
  • Why US phone numbers encourage fraud
  • and much much more!

Instead of reading about it, you should just watch it! If you missed the live stream you can see the replay below.
