Ooredoo, the Qatar-based firm that won one of two mobile licenses to
dramatically expand Burma’s telecommunications network, has pledged to
spend $60 million on social development projects in the country over the
next decade, Mizzima reports.
Ross Cormack, the company’s senior
representative in Burma, was quoted as saying that in addition to
providing health care initiatives, and education and vocational training
to Burmese youth, the company would ensure that 99 percent of its Burma
staff would be local hires. Ooredoo would also put money toward aid
money for flood victims, and would offer a variety of mobile business
services.
