But analysts cautioned against reading too much into the widely-publicised $400 million deal, first announced in January, for a third generation mobile network built by Orascom Telecom. Orascom Telecom Chief Executive Naguib Sawiris said the company's aim was for a "network that will accommodate the 22 million people" in North Korea." I just hope that they come here soon to break the Telecom/Vodafone duopoly that has our mobile rates 40 per cent higher than the OECD average. Come on Paul and Paul. Drop your basic rates from 89 cents a minute ! |

| 729395 | 2008-12-16 00:39:00 | There is a bit of an Egyptian connection (? ?) with one of the existing telcos. I doubt that could be classed as an unqualified success on every occasion the users are tested by it. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
