Dubai: Emirates Telecommunication Corporation (etisalat), one of the region's largest telecom companies, has spread its reach to 18 countries in the past 32 years.
The large leap is evidence of its aims to be one of the top 10 operators worldwide by 2010. The expeditious acquisition plan, which began with Tanzania's fourth mobile licence provider, Zanzibar Telecom (Zantel) in 1999, is well under way with less than a year left. Early last year, the operator was ranked among the 20 largest operators in the world.
"etisalat is in its strongest position ever and is on course to achieving its goal of being one of the top 10 operators in the world by 2010," said Mohammad Hassan Omran, chairman of etisalat.
