For businesses and Net users, one of the benefits could be cheaper Internet access due to the economies of scale derived from a centralised operator, which in this case would be stateowned CAT Telecom, which would serve as the single gateway's operator.
However, it is also risky that such a benefit will not be realised if there is no additional investment to boost the country's bandwidth and single gateway capacity, and CAT Telecom could not manage it effectively.
