Societe Congolaise des Postes et Telecommunications (SCPT)

Die Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (SCPT) ist ein Problem der Umwandlung staatlicher Infrastruktur in der DRK. Sie verbindet Postimmobilien, öffentliche Telekommunikationsrechte und den Zugang zum Backbone/Unterseekabel. Die Kernfrage ist nicht, ob der Staat strategische Infrastruktur besitzt, sondern ob sich dieser Besitz monetarisieren lässt.

The Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications, usually presented as SCPT SA or historically as OCPT, is best understood as a state infrastructure conversion problem. It is not just a postal company, not just a legacy telecom operator, and not a normal ISP. It sits at the intersection of three scarce asset pools in the Democratic Republic of Congo: national postal real estate, public telecom rights, and backbone/submarine-cable access. In a country where connectivity scarcity should be economically valuable, SCPT’s core question is not whether the state owns strategic infrastructure. It does. The question is whether that ownership is being converted into cash flow, service quality, redundancy, customer trust and investable operating performance.
