I heard about their coming to Nigeria in June. Am 'excited' about their arrival. "Etisalat is an international company providing world class GSM and other telecommunications services in 15 countries across the Middle East and Africa. Etisalat will offer Nigerians the same quality and service we offer our subscribers everywhere else we operate in the world. Be sure to come back very soon to browse through all our exciting offerings! " Etisalat has been the leading telecommunications service provider in the UAE since 1976, and has built up a modern telecom infrastructure and established itself as an innovative and reliable operator. Etisalat was the first telecom operator in the Middle East to introduce a mobile phone service – as far back as 1982. Since then it has established itself as a regional pioneer, leading in introducing various products and services including both 3G and MMS as far back as 2003!  Etisalat stands 140th among the Financial Times Top 500 Corporations in the world in terms of market capitalization, and is ranked by The Middle East magazine as the 6th largest company in the Middle East in terms of capitalization and revenues. |

I can authoritatively say that the ad is by etisalat.
I learnt the company is owned by Dubai govt. They have 0809 series.
Lets keep our finger crossed and watch as events unfold.

How can you compare a company that has added various services to its network to a company that can't even manage their network. |

Telecom company, Etisalat, will be employing another 400 Nigerians in the customer care, sales and technical departments between now and December this year as it prepares for its commercial launch, Business Day checks have revealed. The company had in the past few months hired a first set of over 400 Nigerians in batches, in the first phase of employments. Some of the new openings will be filled from direct applications to the company's website, while others will be handled by external consultants. Etisalat will operate the $400 million Unified Access (telecom) licence obtained by the Mubadala Investment Company of the United Arab Emirates in Nigeria.The company says it will provide world class quality of service, deploy cutting edge technologies on the 3.5 G platform, focus on creating employment for qualified Nigerians at home and . . . more here |

Etisalat is entering the Nigerian market through a licence obtained in 2007 by the Mubadala Trading & Development Company of UAE. It operates under the corporate name of Emerging Markets Telecommunications Service.“EMTS is a Nigerian company duly incorporated under the laws of Nigeria in partnership with Mubadala and Etisalat of UAE. Mubadala acquired the Unified Access Licence in 2007. It includes a mobile licence and spectrum in the GSM 1800 and 900 MHz bands for $400 million,” said Belo-Osagie.  Etisalat has already acquired 40 per cent stake in EMTS to operate its brand as Nigeria’s 5th mobile provider. Stating the company’s vision, Belo-Osagie said: “Indeed, backed by Etisalat’s legendary track record of quality and performance, we are committed to building Etisalat Nigeria into a world class service provider, known for its standards of quality, operational performance and efficiency and admired for its record of consistently creating value for customers.” Mr. Saoud al-Shamsi, Chief Executive Officer of Etisalat Nigeria amplified the chairman’s statement, noting that the company would only roll out when it was sure the services would meet its own set standards. This was in apparent reference to recent cry by Nigerians on poor quality of service (QoS) being offered by all four operators in the country. The Nigerian Communications Commission, the industry’s regulator recently fined two of the providers for their poor QoS. “ We will only launch commercial service here (Nigeria) when we are sure that the QoS will not drop below our expectation. We will launch, but we want to get it right from the first day,” said al-Shamsi. Al-Shamsi stated that Etisalat has “pioneered technology in different markets, leading our customers and partners into the future. Recent examples include a 3.75G Network which Etisalat rolled out in Egypt (the most advanced in that market). We are majority shareholders in Thuruya, a leading provider of satellite phones. In the UAE, Etisalat offers fixed line services over its Next Generation Network and provides mobile users with a range of services and applications including GPRS, 3G, Blackberry and MobileCam.” To underline its Middle East influence, the company is ranked 140th by the London based Financial Times Top 500 global Corporations in terms of market capitalisation. read more here |
