Orascom Telecom bids for 2G and 3G licenses
June 30, 2004
A consortium led by Orascom Telecom Holding (OTH) submitted an offer for the second GSM and first 3G mobile licenses to the Communications & Information Technology Commission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The consortium consists of OTH, as the qualified operator required to hold a minimum 15% equity interest in the consortium, and Saudi investors.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents a promising market for GSM and 3G mobile telecommunications services combining scale, best-in-class wealth and excellent growth prospects. The country has more than 24 million inhabitants and its GDP per capita of US$ 8,500 is the highest in the Middle East North Africa region for countries with a population of over 5 million. The mobile penetration rate in the KSA is approximately 31% and is expected to more than double over the next few years. Saudi Telecom is the only mobile operator in KSA with roughly 7.5 million subscribers.
