Telecommunications in Tanzania include radio, television and mobile telephones, the Internet available in mainland Tanzania and the semiautonomous Zanzibar archipelago. In 2005, mainland Tanzania, but not the semiautonomous Zanzibar archipelago, modified its licensing system for electronic communications, modelling it on the approach pioneered in Malaysia in the late 1990s where traditional "vertical" licenses are replaced by "horizontal" licenses. Called the "Converged Licensing Framework", this reform was the first of its kind put into practice on the African continent, allows investors to concentrate on their area of expertise across a larger number of separate sectors; this reform should, among other things, facilitate the arrival of telephone services over cable television networks, television services over telecommunications networks, Internet services over all types of networks. Under the Converged Licensing Framework four categories of license are available: Network facility, the provision of any element or combination of physical infrastructure used principally for, or in connection with, the provision of Content services and other Application services, but not including customer premises equipment.
At the end of 2013 there were: 21 network facility operators: 8 international and national, 11 national, 2 regional. A complete list of licensed operators and contractors is available from the Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority website. A state-owned national radio station and more than 40 owned radio stations are in operation. A state-owned TV station and multiple owned TV stations are in operation; the transmissions of several international broadcasters are available. There are government restrictions on broadcasting in tribal languages; the semiautonomous Zanzibari government controls the content of all public and private radio and television broadcasts in its islands. In the case of state television broadcast from the mainland, there was a delay in the feed, allowing Zanzibari censors to intervene. However, Zanzibari radio stations operate independently reading the content of national dailies, including articles critical of the Zanzibari government.

Particular interests include applications using high-redshift supernovae, he was a member of the Supernova Cosmology Project whose leader, Saul Perlmutter, shared the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics for the team's surprising discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe. His most recent discoveries relate to searches for the earliest known galaxies, seen when the Universe was only a few percent of its present age. At Caltech, Ellis was director of the Palomar Observatory from 2000 to 2005 and played a key role in developing the scientific and technical case, as well as building the partnership, for the Thirty Meter Telescope - a collaborative effort involving Caltech, the University of California, Japan and India destined for Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
