AIRTEL CREATES STRONG COMPETITION FOR MTN IN RWANDA

MTN is set to encounter new competition in the Rwandan market after the launch of Indian cellphone operator Airtel there yesterday. Airtel plans to invest $100 million (about R771m) over the next three years in its new operation, and create direct and indirect employment in the country, it said in a statement.



It took 83 days to build the network from scratch, which is the fastest Greenfield launch in the history of sub-Saharan Africa. The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency last year awarded the company the licence to operate 2G and 3G GSM cellphone services.



Airtel had 246 million customers by end of February and is present in 17 African countries. This includes MTN's biggest market in Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Uganda.



Airtel chief executive (International) Manoj Kohli and joint managing director Bharti said the launch would strengthen Airtel's position in east Africa.



MTN owns 55 percent of MTN Rwanda, which launched in 1998. It has 2.6 million subscribers, says MTN's website.

Her neyse yeni koleksiyonlar beni neşelendirmeye yetti :) Bu yazı tüm sonbahar sevmeyenler için gelsiiin :D Fall and winter are coming slowly, I heard that it will be rainy tomorrow in İstanbul. This year I made a difference and didn't complain about fall - for the ones who don't know I hate rain and fall from seasons.

Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...

According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.
