Mobilink and Ufone signed an accord to enter into an agreement for tower sharing.

The agreement was signed between Rashid Khan, President and CEO of Mobilink, and Abdul Aziz, President and CEO of Ufone at the Mobilink House.

This collaborative effort is in line with the initiatives taken by the Pakistan Telecom Authority and the Federal Government to encourage cellular providers to drive greater efficiencies while reducing the carbon foot print.

Sharing his views, Rashid Khan said,

“This alliance is mutually beneficial and will also facilitate us to better align ourselves with our strategic initiatives and become greener. This will further enhance Mobilink’s coverage footprint, already the widest, hence, bringing more value to the customer which is our top priority.”

Commenting on the accord, Abdul Aziz, CEO Ufone, said,

“Ufone has had a keen interest in exploring newer avenues for our “Go Green” initiative and this tower sharing alliance is another step forward to further enhance our initiative. With this alliance Ufone has moved ahead to ensure customers have seamless connectivity no matter where they are in the country. This follows similar alliances with other operators hence allows us to create a positive network layout most beneficial to the customer”

Through sharing of their network infrastructures the two cellular providers will be able to enhance the customer experience by offering a wider coverage footprint, driving synergies and reducing their respective carbon foot prints.

The introduction of third party payment networks also known as MPSP (Mobile Payment Service Providers) would be of immense advantage since these third party payment handing agents can work with many providers, rather than the closed networks, Dr Muhammad Yaseen, Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said in its authored article on his blog “Mobile Banking – Market Dynamics for Pakistan.”

The primary approach is to encourage multiple mobile banking services to MPSP as opposed to One-to-One payment system or one bank one operator. Therefore, there will be opportunities to design multiple money transfer saving and financing services to customers.

We could foresee opportunities for service providers from banks and mobile sectors alike who move quickly to create new products, especially if they can establish shared networks of third party agents, he wrote.

Dr Yaseen explained that the customers belonging to any bank and mobile operator would have the freedom of managing their finances when and where they want. This means that all banks and mobile operators would be able to connect with each other resulting in a situation where any bank customer can access their accounts, transfer funds, and interact with all other bank customer using mobile connection.

“This also provides an extra freedom to all service providers to start mobile banking offers to their consumers. Under this model, all banks and all operators could join hands to offer services to virtually all bankable customers, he said and added “this model offers the maximum connectivity and hence maximum outreach but requires a central transaction processing system that could be handled by a MPSP. Relying on third party service providers would also “liberate” banks from location constraints, allowing them to compete for customers anywhere based on product design, marketing, and branding.”

PTA has join hands with State Bank of Pakistan for drafting banking while offering state-of-the-art security to mobile users and financial. This aim to introduce a unified regulatory regime catering the requirements of operators, financial institutes and the consumer by providing a many-to-many relationship.

The present regulatory framework available under Electronic Transfer Act (2005) and Branchless Banking Regulations (2008) promulgated by State Bank of Pakistan is based on 1-to-1 relationship. This offers a close system between a single bank and a single mobile operator required to develop their own payment

Pakistan has region’s best performing sector, the financial sector assets have risen to over $185 billion, its profitability is exceptional and at an all- time high, non-performing loans (NPLs) are at an all-time low, credit is fairly diversified and bank-wide system risks are well-contained. Almost 81% of banking assets are in private hands. Similarly mobile sector in Pakistan has observed an enormous growth with a subscriber’s base reaching

Russia’s VimpelCom has announced that its shareholders today approved the previously announced merger of VimpelCom and Orascom Telecom of Wind Telecom, although Telenor is still opposing the merger.

In today’s scheduled Special General Meeting, 93.1% of the Company’s voting shareholders participated, out of which 53.3% of the voting shareholders approved the proposed merger.

“Following this favorable outcome, the management teams of VimpelCom and WIND TELECOM will proceed in satisfying the conditions precedent for the completion of the Transaction, which is expected to take place in the first half of 2011”, said a statement issued by the group.

If transaction, subject to regulatory approvals and recipient of funds, goes through – both Wind Telecom and VimpelCom will merge with VimpelCom owning 51.7 % of Orascom Telecom and 100 % of Wind Italy.

Naguib Sawiris, Executive Chairman of Wind Telecom, in return will get $1.495 billion in cash and 325.6 million new common shares and 305 million new convertible preferred shares.

Larger VimpelCom will have more than 173 million subscriber base with with pro forma net operating revenues of US$21.3 billion and pro forma EBITDA of US$9.4 billion for the year ended 31 December, 2009.

Alexander Izosimov, CEO and President of VimpelCom, commented:

“The approval of this transformative combination with Wind Telecom by our shareholders will lead to the creation a new global telecom player with over 173 million mobile subscribers covering a population of 838 million people.

The combined group will have a significantly diversified revenue base, substantially larger scale of operations, and potential synergies estimated to be US$2.5 billion on a net present value basis. This transaction and the shareholder vote underscore the Company’s dedication to delivering substantial value creation for shareholders and our commitment to corporate governance excellence.”

Telenor, which earlier opposed the deal said that its will remain commitment to the future prosperity of VimpelCom.

“Even though we believe VimpelCom would have been better off without this deal, we will now continue to work in the best interest of VimpelCom and its shareholders” said Dag Melgaard, spokesperson Telenor Group.

Naguib Sawiris, Executive Chairman of Wind Telecom, said:

“Following the industry trend of consolidation, we believe there will be only space for larger global operators in the market that will be able to benefit from economies of scale and scope. We look forward to continuing to play a significant role in the global telecom industry as part of one of the biggest telco players in the world.”

Pakistan Scenario:

Mobilink will become part merged VimpelCom. In a statement issued today, company welcomed the deal.

Commenting on the decision Rashid Khan, President and CEO, Mobilink said:

“The decision which is in favor of the merger is slated to change the global telecommunication scenario. As a key subsidiary of Orascom Telecom Holding, Mobilink welcomes this win and looks forward to becoming a part of one of the biggest telecom players in the world.”

CCP Approval in Pakistan:

Mobilink in Pakistan being part of Larger VimpelCom will be owned by Telenor Group (with minority stakes) that has its operations in Pakistan with fully owned Telenor Pakistan.

This translates into a proposition according to which Mobilink and Telenor Pakistan will be owned by same group (Telenor International) at a parent group level.

The outcome can possibly form a cartel in Pakistan which may not be favorable for competitors such as Ufone, Warid Telecom and CMPak.

For time being, Competition Commission of Pakistan has granted conditional approval for the Orascom-VimpelCom merger.

A press release issued by CCP said that it conditionally approved the deal after undertaking Phase-II review of the transaction to address the competition concerns.

VimpelCom may face a similar regulatory hurdle in Bangladesh.

Citing Chief Executive of VimpelCom, Alexander Izosimov, Reuters has reported that group will not need sell assets in Pakistan or Bangladesh, based on CCP concerns, he said: “There is no sell-off needed.”
