Market share

Vodafone Cameroon was the first LTE service provider in the Cameroon telecommunications market. At the end of 2016, less than four months after launching, Vodafone had roughly 15,000 customers.[1] Vodafone Cameroon then represented more than 80% of the telecom market in Cameroon.

Withdrawal of service

On 14 September 2017, Vodafone Cameroon was required to withdraw Internet services until further notice following a notification from the Telecommunications Regulatory Board.[4] And on 10 November 2017 the company made an official statement about their activities being closed in Cameroon.

gollark: That seems bizarrely inefficient. Does anyone even *use* the distance thing on wired networks? Couldn't it be cached?
gollark: Some questions are just really bad though.
gollark: I mean, asking for evidence of things is reasonable.
gollark: Have you SEEN people? There are DEFINITELY dumb questions.
