As you all know, there is a new GSM company coming to Nigeria very soon. the company's license has been approved by NCC to start operations in Nigeria before the year runs out. Does anyone know the name of the GSM company and their website?

tanx, lm interested in their web add pls,

Mubadala Development Company is the name of the GSM company, they are based in Dubai UAE, they had been granted a unified Aceess Service License of 14 years duration after satisfactory payment of the sum of $400 millon. The license will enable the company to operate and offer National Mobile GSM, National Fixed, Long Distance transmission, Ful international gateway and Internet and broadband services.

interesting

For those of you inerested in getting jobs, it's likely that this startup would start hiring graduates very soon.

My friend told me about the company but unfortunately my CV was not delivered. The address is: www.mubadala.ae/en/content/jobs.asp

Thanks for the info.

yes oh mypeople i just found out too,id really like to know where thy can be found in niaja, they go by the name mubudala investment coy in the UAE, mega bucks coy too.

people, people people,, I've been looking all over www.mubadala.com and I've not beena able to see anything relating to telecommunications, i aint doubting wat y'all have said but I jus need someone to explain stuff better for me please y'all,

I have contacted the Customer care of Mobadala, they promised to get back to me with infos. I'll post whatever they say. But it is just getting delayed I have sent it since Monday.

Lets hope they reply Sha!

That's good news! I hope that will further increase the competition in Naija's telecom industry and drive down general tariffs. The $400 Million also means the net worth of Nigeria's telecom industry has increased compared to 2001 where MTN and Econet paid $285 Million and Glo paid $200 Million for their license. This has come in a good time to challenge Trancorp's Mtel as well or what do you think?

I think the licensing process was a fraud.If they had done an open and transparent auction,they could have surpassed that amount.

They should have invited telcos to bid,instead they sneakily gave away the license to this coy.

What the fee paid suggests,is that the whole narket is worth $2 billion .I would say it is worth double that

True talk 4play. I agree with you. It was not publicized at all.

Does Nigeria really need another GSM company. I would have thought MTN and Globacom are quite sufficient. Is this not another money making racket? Or do you think another competitor will help bring prices down. In my experience they all make promises and rarely deliver.

Hellooooo,please what is the latest about the GSM coy

Hello,

According to the Island News on Monday, The Mubadala Development Company is planning to commence operation by the middle of this years and they will be employing mostly Nigerians to work with them, Fatter  salaries are laid to entice Technical, Marketing and Managerial Staffs from other competing companies. The employment did not stop their it also welcomes people from Local Banks and Other Organizations.

The employment ranges from 1000 - 5000 workers in which the 1000 is for Lagos alone. Mubadala also plans to buy 2 Local Private Telephone Companies in Nigeria so that they would have a very good reception roaming one of the company is based in Victoria Island which has a very good Data service and the other is situated in Saka Tinubu. The problem they are encoutering right now is that the earlier company is not willing to sell and the other agreed to the deal but still wants a share.

Mubadala plans to offer a service 1800 and 900 Mega Hertz spectrum band for General Street Madness (GSM) to keep going on in Naija. _{Other subscribers started the same way too}  Nigerian Government policy will decided how fast the growth of the company will be.

It was stated that "Subscribers can also expect to receive an increased range of services, improved quality of services and better value for money."    ^{Hmmmmm Makes me remember Nigerian Democratic Campaigns}
They also planning to introduce CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access).

Approximately, 922 million peoples subcribes from one or more telecommunication company in our Continent.

At the moment they are promising Nigerians a better future in Telecommmunications. And if the business favours them they may decide to extend further because they do not only deal in Telecommuniation, they also deal in Oil, and Construction works Banks and other forms of Investments.

Go through the report, I feel they can do better if our Government did not f**kup

Please if anyone knows the firm recruiting locally, spread the good news.
