Posted by: | Comments
After its failed attempt at merging with South African operator MTN, India’s largest cellular operator Bharti Airtel is scouting for international acquisitions. The Daily Star reports that Airtel has sought the approval of the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to pick up 70 percent stake in Warid Telecom, owned by the Abu Dhabi group.
The report quotes unnamed Warid executives who have valued the deal at $900 Million. Post signing the deal, Airtel also plans to invest an initial $300 million in the company. Warid is one of six operators in Bangladesh, a country with 51.4 million mobile subscribers as of October 2009. An auction of 3G spectrum in Bangladesh is scheduled for 2010.
Note that Bharti has neither confirmed nor denied plans to buy Warid. When contacted, a Bharti spokesperson told MediaNama, “We keep evaluating international expansion opportunities from time to time. However, at this point, we do not have anything definite to share.” The Wall Street Journal reports that Akhil Gupta, deputy group CEO and MD at Bharti Enterprises, said that “We have been interested in Bangladesh because we have an interest in countries in the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) region.”
Airtel had 113 million subscribers in India as of October 2009 and competes with ten other operators here. It launched its Sri Lankan operations in January 2009 and has been on the look out to expand to other international markets through the inorganic route.
An overview of Warid Telecom, and its competition in Bangladesh:
Warid Telecom & Deals
– Singtel Deal In Pakistan: Warid also operates a GSM Network in Pakistan, and SingTelhad bought 30 percent stake in that entity for $758 million in July 2007. Warid had 18.5 million mobile subscribers in Pakistan as of September 2009.
– Warids Essar Deal In Africa: The Dhabi group recently sold its African assets of Warid in Congo-Brazzaville and Uganda to India’s Essar group. Essar Group holds 33 stake in Airtel’s rivalVodafone Essar, which is the #3 Indian telco with 85 million subscribers as of October 2009. Essar already had a presence in Africa and was seeking to expand there given the continent’s telecom market is still emerging and has a vast potential as a result of low teledensity. More on the African telecom market here.
Warid In Bangladesh
Warid is the fourth largest cellular operator of six in Bangladesh (a list here). The teledensity in the country is at 33%. Warid received its GSM licence in 2005 and rolled out in January 2007 to providing cellular services and it also holds an ISP licence. Warid also owns a next generation network and license, but has not launched due to lack of spectrum availability.
Vodafone group, which owns the remaining 67 percent of Vodafone Essar, had approached Warid Telecom as did several international operators such as SingTel (which owns 31 percent stake in Airtel) and Etisalat (which bought over Swan Telecom in India) to form a partnership in Bangladesh.
Warid had 2.79 million customers in October 2009. It went through a tough time over the last year, when its market share fell from 8.5 percent in Q3-08 to under 5 percent in Q1-09 during which period it lost 2.23 million subscribers, but has shown signs of recovery since.
According to estimates made in an ITU report to the telecom regulator dated May 2009, Warid contributed an estimated 2,010,037,500 Taka ($29.2 million) to the the total industry revenues – one of the lowest at 1.9 percent.
The Bangladesh Market & Competition For Warid
Bangladesh’s wireless sector suffered a slow down to below average growth but according to Market Watch, ARPUs have stopped decreasing and Minutes of Use per subscriber stabilized at industry average in the second quarter of 2009. Mobile teledensity only rose from 28% in 2008 to 30% in 2009, according to ReportLinker. The ITU report estimated Bangladesh telecom industry revenues at $1.57 billion:
GrameenPhone: Telenor-owned GrameenPhone is the oldest and largest operator with 22.3 million connections in October and almost 43 percent market share. It launched a GP branded handset recently. Telenor owns 62% shares in GrameenPhone as of September 2009. Telenor also owns a majority stake in Indian telco Uninor, which recently launched in 7 circles in India. GrameenPhone is the highest contributor of revenues to the Bangladesh Telecom market, with 50.2 percent of all telecom revenues in the country at $789 million.
Bangladesh Telecommunications Company (BTCL), the state owned wireline services accounts for 14.4 percent of telecom industry revenues, at $226.66 million. It doesn’t provide mobile services.
– Telekom Malaysia’s Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited is third with 10.99 million subscribers. Egypt-based Orascom Telecom acquired local operator Sheba Telecom in 2004 and renamed it Banglalink. Aktel’s contribution to revenues was 13.3 percent, at $209.082 million.
– Orascom Telecom Bangladesh Limited (brand name Banglalink) is the second largest with 12.27 million subscribers, and is estimated to contribute 12.3 percent to revenues at $192.689 million.
– The smallest is local operator Teletalk with 1.07 million customers. Teletalk contributes 4.7 percent to Bangladesh’s telecom industry revenues, at an estimated $74.1 million

Hasina happy over climate deal
Posted by: | Comments
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed her satisfaction over arriving at a `reasonable conclusion’ at the UN Climate Change Conference, saying there are certain areas that need to be finalized in the future.
“An agreement has been agreed upon taking in most of all our concerns. There are certain areas that would be finalized in the coming days,” she said in a statement at the Lund University on Saturday.
Hasina had visited the Lund University campus with her nuclear physicist husband, late Dr MA Wazed Miah, in 1969.
Referring to the closed-door hectic negotiation in Copenhagen on Friday, the prime minister said a core group was established comprising 25 countries, including Bangladesh, to finalise the agreement.
The PM said it is interesting to note that around 130 heads of states and governments gathered here indicating the great importance they gave to the climate change conference.
She reiterated that though the greenhouse gas emission is negligible in Bangladesh, the country has become one of its worst victims.
Hasina said global warming has subjected Bangladesh to an increasingly frequent and erratic pattern of floods, cyclones, droughts, colossal tidal surges along its southern coasts and unreasonable high level of monsoon rainfall causing landslides and heavy river erosions while absence of seasonal rain in the north causing desertification.
“Therefore, we want adoption of a new legal regime under UNFCCC Protocol to ensure overall rehabilitation of climate refugees,” she told teachers and students of the Lund University.
The PM said Bangladesh is already adapting to climate change. An immediate project is dredging of rivers to keep them on their natural course; deepen to hold more water; contain flooding, reduce flood-induced damages.
Bangladesh has also established a Climate Change Trust Fund with own resources and approved 134 climate adaptation and mitigation action plans, she said, adding that besides, a Multi-Donor Trust Fund has been set up with contributions from development partners and friends.
Hasina said though mitigation is the prime responsibility of developed and major developing emitters of greenhouse gas, Bangladesh is preparing a strategic energy plan for following a low carbon path to development; social forestry; green belts for large carbon sink; clean coal technology; nuclear power; and renewable energy.
She said already 600,000 solar home systems have been installed; vehicles converted to using compressed natural gas as fuel; industries producing toxic waste relocated equipped with effluent treatment facilities; and biodegradable material used as alternate to synthetics.
Referring to her government’s major concerns, the Prime Minister said the major concerns are food security, strengthening democracy, counter terrorism, adapting to climate change, among others.
She said an immediate step had been to apply government intervention in reducing price of food and other daily essentials and maintaining the price within common people’s reach

Bangladesh bans ‘painful’ greeting practice
Posted by: | CommentsBangladesh has ended a British colonial era practice that forces children to line the streets in front of their schools every time a senior official visits, a minister said Wednesday.
Last month, a government official came under fire in the Bangladeshi media when hundreds of students were made to wait more than two hours under a scorching sun to greet him.
Many Bangladeshis recall similar experiences from their school days and visits from senior bureaucrats and other dignitaries can be frequent in rural areas.
“We’ve stopped this practice because it does not set a good example. It’s unnecessary. It’s painful for the students and it makes their guardians angry,” Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid told AFP.
The practice dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when British magistrates inspecting a school were usually welcomed with students lining the roads, waving flags and flowers.
