The award ceremony, part of the 3GSM Telco World Summit, the premier communications event in the Middle Eastern region, was held to acknowledge individuals and operators who have taken a leadership role, invested in technology and developed services in the region’s fast growing telecoms sector. FRiENDi GROUP was recognised as ‘Best New Entrant’ for their innovative and successful launches of the company’s MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) businesses in Oman and Jordan.
Commenting on the award, Mikkel Vinter CEO, FRiENDi GROUP said; “Since its launch, FRiENDi GROUP has enjoyed a very warm welcome from the customers in both Oman and Jordan, and we are very pleased with this now being recognised by FRiENDi GROUP receiving the CommsMEA award as “Best New Entrant”.
With the launch in Oman in April 2009, FRiENDi GROUP established the first MVNO/Mobile Reseller in that country and in the Middle East region in general. Providing a pre-paid mobile experience based around empowering customers to stay connected to their family and friends locally and internationally, whether they are expatriates or nationals, the FRiENDi GROUP proposition combine exciting services and competitive prices. Winning the hearts and minds of end-users, FRiENDi GROUP launched a second MVNO service in June 2010 in Jordan.
Mikkel Vinter added, “The South Asia, Middle East and Africa region, where FRiENDi GROUP has its geographic focus, offers a great opportunity for our business model. In Europe alone there are over 300 different MVNOs, whereas there is only a handful today in this region, so we certainly expect the regional mobile industry to move towards a more segmented approach with new brands being introduced to replace the ‘one-size-fits-all” single brand approach” of the past.
FRiENDi GROUP is currently delivering on the company vision of establishing a pan-regional footprint, and is deploying its advanced MVNO/MVNE technical platform plus global operational experience to support the roll-out of several new countries to be announced in the near future. With mobile operators and telecom regulators increasingly recognizing the fresh impetus and value the wholesale business model can bring to mobile markets across the region, FRiENDi GROUP is positioned as a leader in this exciting development for the regional telecommunications industry over the coming months and years.
