Ethiopia receives 12 bids for two telco licences -regulator

Ethiopia’s communications regulator said on Friday it received twelve bids for the two telecom licences it plans to award to multinational mobile companies, breaking the state monopoly.

Nine bidders are telecom operators and two non-telecom operators, and one submission was incomplete, the regulator said.

Bidders include Etisalat, Axian, MTN, Orange, Saudi Telecom Company, Telkom SA, Liquid Telecom, Snail Mobile and Global Partnership for Ethiopia, a consortium of telecom operators made of Vodafone, Vodacom, and Safaricom. The two non-telecom operators are Kandu Global Telecommunications and Electromecha International Projects.

The issuing of licences will open up one of the world’s last major closed telecoms markets in the country of around 110 million.

The Ethiopian Communications Authority said the licenses will be awarded through a “competitive bidding process,” but did not clarify a deadline for it.

“This is the initial stage. We will soon have...the second stage,” said Balch Reba, director-general of the Ethiopian Communication Authority.

Habesh abhors being called or related to Africans.
Their heart and loyalty belongs elsewhere.
Besides, there is that unspoken 'sibling rivalry' with Kenya and anything Kenyan. Let's wait and see.

Safaricom is promising to retain its annual capital spending in rolling out new products and services to address evolving needs of society. This as it aims to build on its Ksh73.66 billion net profit.

The telco is preparing for its virtual annual general meeting (AGM) on July 31, when shareholders will get an opportunity to know the plans for the current financial year.
The telco has been automating internal and customer-facing operations and enhancing use of artificial intelligence, all which Mr Ndegwa will be taking to the next level.

Safaricom has been consistently growing profits for the last eight years, with the net earnings having grown nearly six times when compared with Sh12.63 billion profit in 2012.

The company’s capital expenditure has been averaging Sh36 billion to Sh40 billion, giving room for the company to roll out new products to deliver fresh revenue streams and retain an edge over its competitors.
Safaricom will be seeking to amend its articles of association to allow for electronic AGM or a hybrid of electronic and physical meetings going forward.

This will eliminate the need for getting a special window to hold virtual meetings if it opts to. The current company Act does not have a clause on virtual meetings. Listed firms have to seek a special window for such meetings.

Shareholders will use the meeting to approve a final dividend of Sh1.40 per share, up from Sh1.25 per share paid in the previous year. The pay-out will amount to Sh56.09 billion, and will be disbursed by end of August.

“The board is committed to investing in the business and maintaining our strong record of paying progressive dividends each year,” states outgoing CEO Michael Joseph.
Mr Joseph handed the management reins to Mr Ndegwa in April, having launched a new customer proposition – “For You” – that promises “simple, transparent and honest” service.

He reckons that the proposition has already delivered improved customer sentiment, greater brand consideration and a gain in market share for the first time since 2017.

The amount of cash sent by Kenyans on mobile platforms over the past five months to May fell by Sh36.77 billion compared to similar period last year, official data shows, a rare drop that reflects the financial hardship faced by households and businesses due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows that Kenyans sent Sh1.752 trillion through their mobile wallets in the five months to May, down from Sh1.789 trillion in corresponding period last year-— painting the picture of economic struggles.

(Visual from Kenyan Wall Street blog)

MGas is a subsidiary of Circle Gas and MGas is powered by Safaricom. It makes sense they should acquire a stake in Circle Gas.

From the above visual Safaricom's aim is to be integrated in all aspects of society by starting or being part of social impact business entities.

I think transport is missing in the visual since Little cab is backed by Safaricom.

Around 2008 Ericsson was the largest telecommunication equipment provider in East Africa. They used to supply around 70% of SCOM GSM network equipment.

Then Huawei happened, their stuff way way cheaper than Ericsson or Nokia-Siemen.
GSM is a standard and the equipment manufactured should be back and forward compatible and this was the basis by which SCOM was able to switch very fast to Huawei and ZTE.

Most of the network upgrade to 3G and 4G is by Huawei due to cost. Initially the stuff from Huawei used to fail but over time their quality has improved. Huawei is now the largest vendor of telecom equipment in the world and is the leader in 5G.

Spying concerns by the US are very valid. The CIA spied on foes and allies using sabotaged encryption equipment sold to foreign countries.

China was recently accused of spying on African governments at the Chinese built AU headquarters which uses computer network equipment supplied by Huawei.

SCOM and Huawei are too intertwined from infrastructure (3G and 4G network), modems, phones and even equipment maintenance.

Ericsson wasn't the largest supplier to Safaricom.
It was Siemens which later changed to Nokia-Siemens and finally Nokia
