Since 1973, the occasion has been recognized as World Telecommunication Day. So the significance is clear here that Telecommunication Sector has a particular acknowledgement in the world and the result is the creation of World Telecommunication Day.

...for OTH’s [Orascom Telecom Holding] ongoing expansion into emerging markets, and our preparation for the challenges of providing top quality services nationwide is solid. We are confident that Banglalink™ will repeat the success story of Mobilink in Pakistan.”1 –Mr. Naguib Sawiris, Chairman and CEO Banglalink™ is the latest addition to the GSM family of OTH. Naguib Sawiris, Chairman and CEO of OTH, announced the acquisition of Sheba Telecom (Pvt.) Limited with a cost of US$60m in September of 2004. As Sheba Telecom, the worst performing network operator in the industry, the company had only 30,000 subscribers. To dispel this image, OTH had re-branded Sheba as Banglalink™ in an attempt to give it a completely new image. With that kind of a reputation at its disposition, the Banglalink™ management has placed one of the highest priorities on improving its network. In this respect, they have installed state-of-the-art equipment from Siemens and Huawei and brought in over 1,000 people, including experts, from 15 countries around the world to set up the required infrastructure. The system took a record of four months (less than half the normal time) to build. In 2005 alone, Orascom plans to invest $120 million, earmarking close to another $300 million for future investments. While Banglalink™ started out quite small, it has increased its coverage from 9 to 23 districts in just over three months. The company plans to provide mobile communication coverage to all the 61 districts of...
