BT?warned over broadband funds

On 12.07.10, In Mobile, By Editor

Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary has warned BT and stated that the telecoms company will not get a blank cheque from the government to extend its high-speed broadband network.

According to the analysts, BT was in pole position to secure the largest portion of the US$1.30 billion of public funds the government is making available to ensure rural areas do not miss high-speed internet access.

Virgin Media has expressed its interest in tapping some of the US$1.30 billion that will come from the BBC license fee over the next seven years. Some smaller companies that build superfast broadband networks, such as Vtesse Networks and Geo, are also potentially interested in using some of the US$1.30 billion.

According to BT’s last month statement, it might be able to extend its high-speed broadband network to 90% of UK homes if the company could use the US$1.30 billion. BT is spending US$3.90 billion on its network to reach two-thirds of homes by 2015. According to Virgin, it was important the US$1.30 billion was not simply used to extend BT’s network.

However as per Ian Watt, analyst at Enders Analysis, he expected BT to be the company that secures the largest portion of the US$1.30 billion, partly because it was best placed to provide significant additional funds of it’s own to expand superfast broadband to rural areas.

TalkTalk and British Sky Broadcasting, the other big operators in the broadband market, are unlikely to bid for any of the US$1.30 billion.

Mr Hunt on Monday had unveiled proposals for every community in the UK to be within reach of superfast broadband infrastructure based on optical fibre by 2015. The fibre networks BT and Virgin are building are largely focused on towns and cities. Mr Hunt outlined plans for a fibre hub in every community, partly financed through the US$1.30 billion. The government hopes local consortiums potentially made up of councils and telecoms companies could bid for some of the US$1.30 billion to build the fibre hubs.

According to Mr Hunt, they are talking to local authorities, people like BT, Virgin, TalkTalk, Sky. . . to see who comes up with solutions. They will back the best ones.

Alfa case against Cukurova rejected by Court (UK)

On 05.25.10, In Mobile, By Editor

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: A court in the British Virgin Islands has rejected Turkish conglomerate Cukurova Holding’s (a shareholder in the country’s largest mobile operator Turkcell) fellow investor Alfa Group’s demands to seize Cukorova’s shares on the grounds that it defaulted on a loan agreement.

13.2% of Turkcell was bought by Russian-based Alfa from Cukurova in November 2005 and lent the Turkish group USD1.71 billion secured against a further 13.8% stake in the operator. It was claimed by Alfa that Cukurova repaid USD357 million in November 2006 but failed to pay subsequent installments on time. Later it made a demand that Cukurova repay its USD1.35 billion debt in the form of Turkcell shares.

According to the court rulings, the payments were not overdue, whilst Alfa had itself violated the terms of the loan agreement and the court also added the Turkcell shares held as collateral would be returned to Cukurova once it repaid its debt to Alfa.

Virgin to explore expansion with Qtel in other markets

On 05.13.10, In Mobile, By admin

The Virgin Group has confirmed that it will explore partnering with the Qtel group in other markets, in additon to the one it launched in Qatar. Qtel is present in 17 other markets. It is interesting to note that Virgin Mobile was part of a consortium that lost out to Vodafone Group in 2007 for Qatar’s second mobile license.

The market in Qatar is small but 40 percent of the population is under 29 and 60 percent under 35, which makes it extremely lucrative for Virgin. Virgin Mobile is Virgin’s fastest growing and apparently most profitable as well, according to Branson.

Qtel was operating as a monopoly in Qatar until Vodafone launched. Qtel CEO has confirmed also that Qtel will continue to expand in SE Asia adn the MENA region to gain further ground i nthe mobile market globally.
