Uganda Telecommunications Corporation Limited (UTCL), trading as Uganda Telecom, is Uganda’s national telecommunication operator, established following the acquisition of assets from the former Uganda Telecom Limited (UTL), which was placed under receivership due to significant debt and mismanagement.

Incorporated on April 8, 2021, UTCL is wholly owned by the Government of Uganda, with the Ministry of Finance, Planning & Economic Development holding 60% of the shares and the Ministry of ICT & National Guidance holding 40%. As Uganda’s premier provider of fixed line, mobile, and internet services, UTCL continues the legacy of the country’s first telecommunications operator, evolving from the East African Post & Telecom Corporation of the 1970s and the Uganda Post & Telecom Corporation of the 1980s and 1990s.

With the largest fixed line and ISP network in Uganda, UTCL offers a wide range of voice and data communication services, including fixed telephony, mobile telephony, ISP, and data services. Its advanced 3G network supports high-speed internet, video telephony, live television, and more, ensuring that UTCL remains at the forefront of Uganda’s telecommunications sector.
