Since UN declared that internet access is a human right. Most telecommunication companies inUgandaare competing to out smart other companies in the same umbrella out of business.

 MTN Uganda for example, as printed adverts and pinned them on road sides with the following message ‘MTN is giving you internet access for free. Use your free 10mb on your phone today- MTN every where you go!’ The adverts urge people to visit www.facebook.com/mtnug and www.twitter.com/mtnugandacare

On the other hand, Orange telecomUgandahas designed a counter attack advert and also posted it on the road side. It goes as follows: ‘Get unlimited fixed internet for your home. Broadband changes with orange. At orange telecom we know that you want internet that is fast, reliable and convenient. That is why we bring you the best fixed broadband solution so that you can enjoy unlimited internet access at the best speeds, at home and at offices. Today changes with orange.’

Even though the magazine was reported not to be selling, the sponsor kept on pumping in into money until he got some misunderstandings with its editor, Sean Ndawula.

Sources say that Sean breached the agreement he had signed with the sponsor of the magazine blocking the chances of getting the cash to print Elyt magazine.

We have been told that Sean had agreed to give the sponsor of his magazine 30% of the total revenue but when the magazine reportedly got an advert from Uganda telecom, the editor failed to remit the 30% to the sponsor forcing him to quit the business.
