Comm has a good interview online with the CEO of Expresso Telecommunications, a company based in the DIFC that owns mobile networks in Nigeria, Ghana, Mauritania and Senegal.
Expresso are a subsidiary of Sudan's Sudatel, and are apparently planning on an IPO on the Dubai market sometime in the next couple of years. Letting the world know you exist is a common first strategy for going public, and with the Comm interview, they are getting there. A website may be the next revolutionary step on the Long Road, with an article on a Chinese news website currently their number one Google result.
Most of their networks seem to be second-tier, niche operations, but in a booming market like Nigeria, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Anyway, the interview is worth a read, and good work by Comm for getting one of the region's lowest profile telcos (a secret perhaps even better kept than Abu Dhabi's Warid Telecom) to briefly emerge from hiding and say hello to the world.
