The NTRA has given Vodafone Egypt and Orange Egypt six months to sign an international gateway agreement. The clock started ticking the moment they acquired the 4G license, sources told Al Mal. Mobinil (at the time; now: Orange) renewed its agreement with Telecom Egypt to rent infrastructure and international calling services for five years in 2015, while Vodafone did the same for three years also in 2015. Etisalat Egypt obtained the international gateway license when it first entered the Egyptian market in 2007. The international gateway licenses would be implemented once the old agreements expire.

COME WORK WITH US. We’re looking for bright, talented writers and analysts to join our team to work on the current Enterprise Morning Edition and new products we have in the pipeline. You’re likely an equities / macro / research analyst, IR professional or journalist, but we’re less interested in your formal education than we are in amazing writing and storytelling skills, intellectual curiosity, fluency with numbers and passion for business / finance / economics / politics. Bilingual candidates preferred (English-Arabic), but we’ll consider particularly talented unilingual English speakers. A sense of humor is a must, as is healthy skepticism. We prefer Egyptian nationals, but can sponsor work permits for particularly talented foreign applicants. Want to get the conversation started? Send a great cover letter and an updated CV to patrick@enterprisemea.com. Bonus points for not starting your cover letter with “Dears.” We’ll reply by Halloween day to folks we’d like to interview.
