Galaxia Telecom International Lists on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Rolls Out the Largest Commercial WiMAX Network in Africa

Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge -- Galaxia Telecom International, a telecom integrator and operator specializing in the innovation and deployment of wireless broadband technologies, announced the listing of the company's shares on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the launch of its first mass market WiMAX network in Algeria.

The listing of the company's shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange offers investors the opportunity to invest both in wireless broadband technology and in emerging markets.

"Galaxia Telecom is one of the few listed companies in the wireless WiMAX area with exposure to the potentially high growth rates for WiMAX services in emerging markets. The European listing for Galaxia Telecom International PLC comes at a turning point in demand for WiMAX services and provides investors with a route to access the growth of broadband wireless telecommunications solutions internationally," Dr. Abdellah Hoummady, CEO, Galaxia Telecom International PLC, said.

WiMAX technology is the greatest hope in terms of bridging the digital divide in emerging markets at reasonable costs, while at the same time leapfrogging the traditionally slower development stages of the telecommunication infrastructure in developed markets.

"By embracing WiMAX technology on such a large scale, Algeria has decided to make a big push to reduce the digital divide both within Algeria itself and vis- -vis the rest of the world. In our view, it is the optimal technology, reliable and cost effective for a large country such as Algeria, which needs to cover the needs of a sizeable but dispersed population of 33m people across a vast territory over 5 times the size of Germany," explains Dr. Hoummady.

GTI is currently engaged in discussions with a number of other national operators and WiMAX related providers worldwide.

I must admit that PhoneCard Stop have the best customer service. They know how to explain about their prepaid phonecards; unlike other prepaid phonecards sites. Their customer service personnels are so polite and helpful. I dare to say that they are the best international phonecards retailer!
