Orange arrives in Niger

Following an international call for tenders issued in December 2007 by the government in Niger, Orange Niger, the France Telecom Group subsidiary, has been awarded a global telecommunications operator license, including fixed, mobile and internet.
Over the last few years, France Telecom has continued dynamically developing its presence in Africa, in line with its ambition to be the benchmark operator. It is present under the Orange brand in several countries throughout the continent: Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Botswana, Central African Republic, Egypt, Kenya, Madagascar and Mauritius.
Less than seven months after obtaining the license, Orange Niger is all set for the commercial launch of its mobile, internet and fixed networks. This launch will cover the following areas: Niamey, Zinder, Maradi, Tahoua and Birnin Konni. More than 30 other cities will be covered by the end of 2008.

The Orange brand provides a promise of simplicity and quality, in this way guaranteeing a coherent customer experience in all of the countries where it is deployed.
Committed to promoting development, and referred to as a benchmark for investment in the countries where it operates, Orange is making life easier for its customers through simple and accessible solutions.
In Niger, the value and utility of the mobile phone have been clearly demonstrated for all users, whatever their social level. Delivering quality services while remaining accessible to the majority of people in Niger represents the challenge that the company and all of Orange's staff are committed to meeting. Orange Niger is going to become a major economic player, by making a significant contribution to the country's development.
In addition to the benchmark economic player aspect, Orange Niger is planning to set up a company foundation following the example of other Orange subsidiaries to work on health, education and culture issues.
