Etisalat considering restructuring and outsourcing options
UAE
telecoms operator Etisalat may restructure its operations to cut costs, the
company said on Monday, as it tries to arrest falling profits.
The
board of the former monopoly, which operates in 17 countries in the Middle
East, Africa and Asia, also proposed a 60 percent dividend for 2011, the same
as 2010.
The company said its board had discussed restructuring and outsourcing options.
"Competition and (a) drop in prices across the region has made it difficult for telecom service providers to maintain revenue levels, especially in emerging markets," it said.
On February 9, Etisalat reported annual net profit fell 24 percent to 5.8 billion UAE dirhams ($1.6 billion), due in part to impairments it took relating to Indian affiliate Etisalat DB, which is poised to lose its licence.
Etisalat has reported falling profits in seven of the past eight quarters as earnings from its foreign units fail to make up for sagging home revenue.
The domestic decline is due to price competition from du and a move among the UAE's mainly expat population to uses Voice over IP (VoIP) services for international calls.
About three-quarters of Etisalat's revenue is derived domestically, according to its third-quarter results, the most recent revenue breakdown the company has disclosed.
Etisalat's West African subsidiary Atlantique Telecom and Egyptian unit Etisalat Misr each achieved a 40 percent rise in subscriber numbers last year, group chief executive Ahmad Abdulkarim Julfar said in Monday's statement.
Etisalat had a net cash balance of 3.3 billion dirhams at the end of 2011.

Aircel unlikely to acquire operators in Indian telecom consolidation but would consider merging with others
Indian
telecom operator, Aircel is not likely to acquire other telecom companies in
the expected upcoming rationalisation in which the number of operators would
reduce from around 14 to seven over the next year, the company head told ET.
"At
this time we are thinking it is payback time for us," Sandip Das, Director
said in an exclusive interview. Aircel may consider merging with other
companies to make a more profitable entity, he said. There has been widespread
speculation that Aircel's 74% shareholder, Malaysia-based Maxis Communications
is looking to sell.
Das
said repeated rumours of a divestment demoralise the company's staff, and are
not true. Last year Aircel separated the company into two parts, the Network
arm - NetCo - that handles the network and the Operations arm - OpCo - that
deals with customers and plans. Das said the company views business potential
in sharing of active networks among operators, that will be forced from
competitive and cost pressures in the sector.
Aircel
may sell a part of the NetCo to facilitate such sharing and to monetise its
investments, he said. The company has several options, for example two
companies may join to initiate the sharing, or a joint venture like Indus
Towers - for tower sharing betweenBharti Airtel, Vodafone India, and Idea
Cellular - or a strategic partner who may buy multiple assets and sell services
to operators as GTL Infrastructure does for towers.
The
Indian telecom industry, Das said is currently at a cusp of a second round of
investment as the voice market matures and the data market is yet to pick up.
"Data demand is not picking up; it has more to do with the ecosystem - the
networks, handsets, etc.," Das said.
Das
stated the example of the Malaysian telecom operator Maxis that leased its
entire 3G network to a new operator, thus using a substantial portion of the
vacant capacity on its network and reducing the time to breakeven. In 2010
Aircel had similarly sold its telecom towers to GTL Infrastructure for Rs 8,062
crore.

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission asked four mobile operators to pay Tk 857cr more for licence renewal
The
telecom regulator has asked four mobile operators to deposit a combined amount
of Tk 857.46 crore in 10 days to renew their licences, an official of
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission said yesterday.
BTRC sent letters to the mobile operators -- Grameenphone,
Banglalink, Robi and Citycell, said Shahiduzzaman, director general of the
commission. “BTRC will start the renewal process as soon as the operators pay
the money,” he said.
Grameenphone
will have to pay Tk 396.2 crore, including Tk 146.82 crore in dues and late
fees since 2010, Shahiduzzaman said.
Banglalink will have to pay Tk 217.54 crore, Robi
Tk 199.49 crore and Citycell Tk 44.23 crore for licence renewal.
In November, the four operators paid a combined amount of Tk
3,177 crore as part of the first instalment of licence renewal charges.
The telecom operators were supposed to pay their renewal charges
on November 10, 2011, Zia Ahmed, chairman of BTRC, said on Thursday. “But they
did not do so and went to court,” he added.
So, the operators will have to pay an additional 15 percent
interest on the renewal charges in line with the telecoms law, Ahmed said.
Also, the 15 percent VAT deducted at source since 2010 and paid
to the National Board of Revenue, must be returned to BTRC by the telecom
operators, he said.
Officials of the companies refused to comment on the issue as
they received the letters after office hours.
The telecom operators used to make payments to BTRC after
deducting 15 percent as VAT to pay to NBR.
The High Court on Monday handed down a verdict asking
Grameenphone to pay the full amount to BTRC and an additional 15 percent to NBR
as VAT. But the operators will receive a rebate on VAT.
