One Rural ISP licence has been issued but is yet to commence operations, while four Internet Hotspot providers are all active. In total, forty-two service providers are operational, with thirty-six listed as inactive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1826\">Among the notable companies actively delivering internet services are Dynamic Data Solutions Limited, Ecoband Networks Limited, SP Echo Ghana Limited (Africa Online), Iklick Communications Limited, Opin Technologies Ghana Limited, Tizeti Network Ghana Limited, E-Connecta Limited, Comsys Ghana Limited, MainOne Cable Company Ghana Limited, Teledata ICT Limited, Vodacom Business Ghana Limited, K-Net Limited, and Datacom Telecom Limited.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"2388\">The NCA further explained that applications for Internet and Public Data Service authorisations may also require spectrum allocation, attracting additional fees separate from the regulatory licence fee.
