Hi Jeffrey & Luca,

This does not break it down by operator but I noticed that SpatialDev/Gates
Fdn added a contextual layer to FSPmaps Tanzania for cell coverage:
http://www.fspmaps.com/#/map@-3.549059,36.329041,9(dark,tanzania_cicos_2013),Tanzania?zoom-extent=open

I suspect the source data is scraped from the tiles on the GSMA
*http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/
<http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/>* portal which does have some breakdown
but is a bit challenging to turn into geodata without some advanced tile
work. It may be licensable from the source cited on that page.

Best,
Thad Kerosky
