Veon, a global digital operator, is to sell its 50.1% stake in Beeline Kyrgyzstan to CG Cell Technologies, a subsidiary of CG Corp Global, a Dubai-based multinational conglomerate with interests across various sectors. Beeline is one of the three major mobile operators combined serving 7mln population and this marks a pivotal moment in the country's telecom history. Veon explained the move that it aims to streamline its operations and focus on key markets conducive to its digital operator model. Although specific financial details were not disclosed, Veon revealed that the deal values Beeline Kyrgyzstan's business at 3.4 times its 2023 EBITDA. Beeline Kyrgyzstan has been the lowest revenue contributor within Veon's portfolio, compared to its operations in other countries such as Ukraine, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, and Georgia.

🌟 Exciting update from Aduna ! For those who missed it, Aduna (launched in Sept 2024) is a revolutionary collaboration between major global telcos and Ericsson that's set to transform how we think about network APIs.

This powerful initiative brings together 12 of the world's largest telecom operators (including AT&T, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom & more), all built on industry-wide CAMARA APIs. Fun fact: The name "Aduna" comes from Latin, meaning "many entities uniting as one" , perfectly capturing the collaborative spirit of this venture! As of January 20, 2025, Anthony Bartolo will step in as CEO to lead this transformation. Excited to see how this standardization of network APIs will unlock the next wave of global innovation. This could be a game changer for developers and enterprises alike! #Telecom #Innovation #APIs #DigitalTransformation #TechnologyNews

#GITEXAfrica Video Interview ▶️ 150+ Operators Connected: How Digital Virgo Simplifies African Telecom Services with a Single API In an interview with Akim Benamara (Chief Editor, TechAfrica News) at Gitex Africa 2024, Mounia TERHZAZ, the Regional Director for Africa at Digital Virgo, offered an in-depth look into the company’s strategic efforts to boost digital connectivity and digital payments across the continent. Emphasizing the significance of the African market, Terhzaz underscored the company’s expansive presence in 12 countries, including key regions such as West Africa, South Africa, and East Africa. With a dedicated team of over a hundred professionals in these areas, Digital Virgo is committed to driving forward alternative payment methods and mobile content services. "Alternative payment methods are crucial for Africa’s economic growth. In West Africa, for example, mobile payments represent around 40% of total transactions. Direct carrier billing, which we also manage for telecom operators, reaches about 700 million mobile users. The potential is enormous, and we are here to support telecom operators by bringing the right offers and connecting all players—merchants, telecom operators, and users—to benefit from high-quality content and services." — Mounia TERHZAZ, Regional Director for Africa, Digital Virgo #techafricanews #gitexafrica #africa #digitalpayments #telecoms #telcos #digitalservices

The continent of #Africa (pop. 1.4bn) seemed notable by its absence in the #API joint-venture recent announcement from Ericsson and telco partners. Luckily MTN's own Chenosis business is already offering the continent a route to #digital #transformation, with APIs at the heart. We look at how Chenosis is taking a different-than-usual approach, which recognizes the unique characteristics and opportunities across the African continent. Instructive for any #telco looking at new revenue sources and business models based on APIs. By Robert Curran and John Cyriac Abraham [paywall/free on subscription]
