Ethiopia will give other companies parts of a telecommunications project it awarded to ZTE Corp. after a contract dispute with the state-owned Chinese company, Communications and Information Technology Minister Debretsion Gebremichael said.
The government has held talks with Helsinki-based Nokia Oyj and Ericsson AB of Sweden about them taking over segments of the contract, which seeks to double mobile-phone network capacity in the Horn of African country and expand 3G coverage nationwide by June, Debretsion said.
