Outfits: Narrowly Tailored Laws that Harm Instead of Help
Abstract
The telecommunications sector in Africa presents many exciting prospects to international investors바카라 사이트”indeed many billion dollar projects are already underway across the continent. Many of the continent바카라 사이트™s current problems can be traced to the exploitation it has experienced whilst 바카라 사이트˜doing business바카라 사이트™ with foreign entities in the past. Using Liberia as a case study, the author examines the legal framework governing telecommunications in Liberia. This study argues that Liberia바카라 사이트™s current telecommunications laws prejudicially favour foreign investors to the unnecessary detriment of local interests. This study seeks to bring much needed attention to the opacity that typifies telecommunications deals and proposes detailed licensing reforms that can be easily included in future telecommunications deals across the continent.
