As we successfully conclude Year One of our Next Horizon: Digital & Beyond 2028 Strategy, Ethio telecom continues to expand and modernize the critical digital infrastructure powering Ethiopia’s transformation.

During the year, we deployed 603 new mobile sites, expanding our nationwide footprint to 10,613 sites, while adding capacity for 10.2 million customers and scaling total mobile network capacity to 115.1 million. To strengthen network resilience, 44% of our sites are supported by backup generators, while 24% of off-grid sites are powered by solar energy.

We expanded 4G/LTE services to 264 additional towns, bringing the total to 1,200 towns and increasing 4G population coverage to 82.2%. Our 5G network now reaches 33 towns, including seven added during the year accelerating access to high-speed, next-generation digital services.

We also strengthened the high-capacity foundation of Ethiopia’s digital economy. Our national backbone fiber and OPGW network now spans 23,422 km, supported by 15,615 km of metro fiber. Total Optical Distribution Network capacity reached 1.46 million, comprising 708,992 greenfield capacity and 759,735 copper-switch-off capacity.

During the year, we migrated 100,000 customers from copper to fiber, helping the fixed-broadband customer base surpass the historic milestone of one million, of whom 443,298 are connected through fiber.

International gateway and local content-cache capacity increased by 1.8 Tbps to 4.3 Tbps, achieving 172% of the annual target. Expanded caching for leading global platforms, including Google, Meta, Netflix, TikTok and Cloudflare, is bringing content closer to users, improving speed and service experience while reducing international bandwidth dependency.

Together, these achievements reinforce Ethio telecom’s role as a principal architect and catalyst of Digital Ethiopia 2030 building a high-speed, resilient, inclusive and future-ready digital infrastructure that connects citizens, empowers businesses, modernizes institutions and unlocks new opportunities across Ethiopia.

ዩቲዩብ የትኞቹን ከክፍያ አገደ?

📌ዩቲዩብ ከጁላይ 15 ጀምሮ የገቢ ማግኛ (monetization) ፖሊሲውን እያጠበቀ ነው።
#ethiopia | ዋናው ትኩረቱ "ኦሪጅናል ያልሆኑ" (inauthentic)፣ "በብዛት የሚመረቱ" (mass-produced) እና "ተደጋጋሚ" (repetitious) ይዘቶችን ላይ ነው።

በአጠቃላይ ዩቲዩብ የሚከተሉትን አይነቶች ይዘቶች ከገቢ ማግኛ ሊከለክል ይችላል (አንዳንዶቹ ከዚህ በፊትም ተከልክለው ነበር፣ አሁን ግን ትግበራው ይበልጥ ይጠብቃል ነው የተባለው።

ዩቲዩብ የትኞቹን የገቢ ማግኛ ለመከልከል ወሰነ❓

👉ዝቅተኛ ጥረት የሚጠይቁ እና ተደጋጋሚ ይዘቶች (Low-effort and repetitive content):

🛑ሌሎች ቪዲዮዎችን ወይም ምስሎችን በመውሰድ ምንም አይነት ትርጉም ያለው ለውጥ ሳያደርጉ መልቀቅ።

🛑የተለያዩ ክሊፖችን (clips) አንድ ላይ አቀናብሮ ምንም ተጨማሪ አስተያየት ወይም ትንታኔ ሳይሰጥ መልቀቅ።

🛑በጣም ቀላል የሆኑ የስላይድ ሾው (slideshow) ቪዲዮዎች፣ ለምሳሌ ፎቶዎችን ብቻ በተራ በማሳየት እና ከበስተጀርባ ሙዚቃ በማስገባት።
አንድን ቪዲዮ ፍጥነቱን በመቀየር ወይም ትንሽ በመቁረጥ ብቻ መልቀቅ።

🛑በዋናነት በ AI የተሰሩ ድምፆች (AI-generated voices)። አንድን ጽሑፍ በ AI ድምጽ ብቻ በማንበብ የተሰራ ቪዲዮ፣ ምንም አይነት የፈጣሪው ኦሪጅናል አስተያየት፣ ትንተና ወይም የፈጠራ ስራ ከሌለበት። ለምሳሌ፣ የዜና ዘገባዎችን ወይም የብሎግ ጽሑፎችን በ AI ድምጽ ብቻ የሚያቀርቡ ቻናሎች።

🛑በ AI የተፈጠሩ አምሳያዎች (avatars) ወይም ስክሪፕቶች ብቻ የሚጠቀሙ ቪዲዮዎች፣ ከኋላው የሰው ልጅ እውነተኛ ስሜት ወይም አስተያየት ከሌለበት።

🛑የሌላ ሰውን ይዘት ያለ በቂ "መለወጥ" (transformation) መጠቀም:

"React" ቪዲዮዎች (የሌላ ሰው ቪዲዮ ላይ አስተያየት የሚሰጡ)። የቪዲዮው ፈጣሪ የራሱን አስተያየት፣ ትንተና ወይም የፈጠራ እሴት በግልጽ ማሳየት አለበት።

🛑ቪዲዮውን ብቻ መልቀቅ እና ጥቂት አስተያየት መስጠት በቂ አይደለም።

🛑ከሌሎች ምንጮች (ለምሳሌ የቴሌቪዥን ፕሮግራሞች፣ ፊልሞች) የተወሰዱ ክሊፖችን በመጠቀም አዲስ እና ኦሪጅናል ይዘት ካልተፈጠረ።

♨️ለምን ይህ ለውጥ መጣ?

ዩቲዩብ ይህን ለውጥ ያመጣው በፕላትፎርሙ ላይ "ዝቅተኛ ዋጋ ያላቸው" (low-value) እና "አጠራጣሪ" (inauthentic) ይዘቶች በመብዛታቸው ነው።

እነዚህ ይዘቶች ተመልካቾችን ስለሚያሰለቹ እና ለዩቲዩብ አስተዋዋቂዎችም ጥሩ ስላልሆኑ፣ ዩቲዩብ ተመልካቾች የሚወዱትን እና የሚያምኑበትን ኦሪጅናል እና ጥራት ያለው ይዘት ማበረታታት ይፈልጋል።

በአጠቃላይ ዩቲዩብ ሰዎች እውነተኛ ጥረት የሚያደርጉበትን እና አዲስ ነገር የሚፈጥሩበትን ይዘት ብቻ መክፈል ይፈልጋል ማለት ነው። #menahriafm
