More than 90 firms lining up for telecom licenses, sources say

A tender for two telecom licenses announced in mid January has drawn expressions of interest from 91 companies, officials at the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Telegraphs said.

First, it invited expressions of interest in the tender. Second, it will evaluate the capacity of each company that submitted an expression of interest and third it will examine whether the companies want to continue to participate in the process.
