Business | Genesis Telecom Bell Canada International (BCI), through its subsidiary Genesis Telecom, possesses the only LMDS license awarded to date in Venezuela in 1999. (The license was originally awarded to Comunicacion y Servicios, which Genesis bought out last year.) Genesis will now form part of a recently created association between BCI, Telmex (Telefonos de Mexico) and Southwestern Bell Communications (SBC). To date they've reportedly attracted some 80 clients in the greater Caracas area, most of them being corporate clients with a goal of increasing that number to 300 by next year. Genesis is participating in the WLL auctions. (references) | |
Economic History | Angola | A privatization effort, prepared with World Bank assistance, has begun with the BCI bank. (references) |
