Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, and has acquired in early 2008 a license to operate
mobile services in North Korea. Orascom Telecom is a leading mobile
telecommunications company operating in six emerging markets having a population
under license of 430 million with an average penetration of mobile telephony across all
