A Promise Unfulfilled: The Telenor- Grameen Telecom Story
When Professor Yunus arrived in Oslo on invitation of Norwegian Government on the morning of 29 March, there was already intense media interest in the Nobel Laureate's visit in relation to his efforts to get Telenor to agree to sell 13% of Grameenphone to Grameen Telecom, the minority partner in joint venture with Telenor.

In an exclusive interview with Dagbladet, peace price winner Muhammad Yunus says Telenor is not honoring their agreements, and that he would have hoped for backing from the Norwegian government for his claim against the company, and was disappointed that they did not speak out on his behalf.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION CENTRE
Grameen Telecom has ventured a pilot operation known as the CIC ( Community Information Center ) with the support of Grameen Phone's network by EDGE/GPRS service.By using this facility the customers do not have to face the hazard of getting cable connection. They simply require using their sim cards from specific mobile operators to get internet connection. |
