Na wa o! Prepare for another re-branding and name change for Zain!!!!
Zain's African arm 'put up for sale'
The Pan-African cellular operator, Zain, has reportedly been put up for sale by its Kuwaiti parent MTC, four years after a bidding war saw MTN miss out on the chance to buy the network for itself.
Kuwaiti newspaper Al Qabas said Zain's African arm — which traded as Celtel before a grand rebranding exercise last year — may be sold for US$12bn to a French company.
.....
Zain operates in 23 countries in the Middle East and Africa, serving 64,7-million customers. The African operations it is reportedly trying to shed covers 16 countries and 65% of the group's customers. However, they are not doing as well financially as its owners would like. Africa contributed only 10% of the profit in financial 2008 and in the first quarter to March its African arm suffered a net loss of $4,9m on a revenue of $917m.

I guess another name change is in the offing
@Artwales: For postpaid 24/7 data service on MTN you need to visit a friendship center

@coola: By now u've probably heard that Orange is rumoured to be interested in buying Zain's African operation. There might be a problem in Nigeria though as there is still legal challenge to the ownership of the former Vee Mobile Network which ultimately morphed into Zain.

@Amby: Thats hardly negative, everyone would expect due process in legal challenges. The Zimbabweab guy feels aggrieved and he is within his right to challenge the ownership of Zain's Nigerian operation in court. What I find most ridiculous are the Kuwaitis running away from Africa without even having seriously competed with MTN.

@Brix: Isn't it odd that in all the 17 African countries where Zain has its operations, Nigeria is the only one that might pose a problem in the takeover bid by Orange? Thats what I meant by "Negatively"

@Brix: I can assure you that it will take about a week for someone else apart from you and me to notice your last post. It took me a full 24hrs. Moreover, most contributors to this forum now have their own forums which keep them occupied 24/7. Probably before the end of the year we'll hit the 10,000 post mark
