Orange's activities
| finance
In November 2007, France Telecom, which owns 89.60% of Orange Niger, acquired a comprehensive license in Niger (fixed, mobile and internet ).
Orange started its commercial activities in June 2008 on a booming telecommunications market, where the penetration rate increased from 13% to 16% between 2008 and 2009. Orange became the second operator with 17% market share and aims to become the reference partner for business customers and broadband Internet access offers.
At the end of 2009, just 18 months after it was launched, Orange Niger’s mobile market had 462,000 active customers.
Orange Niger is currently the number 2 operator in terms of coverage, with 41% of the total population covered at end 2009. The fixed and Internet markets show great possibility for development, with the extension of coverage on the still-small network. Orange Niger hopes to become the leading internet service provider in 2010, by opening new WiMax sites in the country’s main cities and providing custom offers to business customers.
Orange Niger has divided its market geographically into six sales areas to make its services more local and customized.
