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.

Rimmel London Hard Rock

Bu ojeyi Chanel Graphite'in benzeri olabilir diye sürdüm ilk başta ama alakaları yok. Bir kere Hard Rock ondan daha koyu. Aslında benzeyip benzememesi çok önemli değil çünkü en favori ojelerimden biri ve size gösterebilmem için fırsat doğdu. Bilmem söylemiş miydim ama Rimmel'ın Sky High'ına bayıldığım için yedeklemiştim, bu ojeyi aldıktan sonra tekrar görebilseydim mutlaka aynı muameleyi yapardım! I picked up this nail polish yesterday while thinking this could be Chanel Graphite's dupe but Hard Rock is too dark to be a dupe. Actually that isn't important for me, Hard Rock is one of my favourite polishes and now I can show it to you. I wish I would buy one more of this but I have never seen it after I bought this one :( Harika bir sonbahar ve kış ojesi, bu renk bende tırnaklarıma gerçekten metal sürmüşüm hissi uyandırıyor, çok seviyoruum :) This is a great fall&winter colour, I feel like I applied liquid metal on my nails and love that feeling :)

H&M Winter Lookbook

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta. Bu sene bir ilke imza attım, ne yazdan ne önümüzdeki sonbahardan şikayet ettim, hatta daha önceden ilkbahar gelsin diye can attım. Bilmeyenler için ara mevsimleri hiç sevmem, özellikle de sonbahar ve yağmurdan nefret ederim. 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. Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz. Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...
