Agreement To Create Second Cellphone Telecom Network
March 21, 2004
The SahwaNet Internet site reported on the signing of an agreement between the Yemen Telecom Company and the Sudanese government to set up a second cellular telephone telecom network in Sudan. The paper quoted Director of the National Telecom Authority, Mustafa a-Taib, who said in January 2004 that the Authority signed this contract with the Yemeni BesharTel Telecom Company at an investment of 150 million. The Communications Ministry published a tender on this matter due to problems with the supply of services by the Sudanese Mobitel Cellular Telephone Service Company.
