Agreement standards pricey THE GROUP has signed a group-wide contract with UK-based Aircom International, an independent mobile network planning and optimisation consultancy. The contract is effective from January 2008 and continues for five years, says spokesman Dave McCann.

Aircom would not disclose the value of the contract. However, CEO Margaret Rice-Jones says the company will provide network planning tools and consultancy to all the regional operators in the MTN Group across the Middle East and Africa.

MTN has operations in 21 countries, servicing over 54 million subscribers as at 30 September.

The new group-wide agreement standardises pricing, Aircom says. It also outlines delivery and service level agreements for all Aircom tools and services.
