Cisco Systems to supply Palestine Telecom (May 22, 2005)
DEAD
SEA, Jordan (Reuters) -
Cisco Systems and Palestinian telecommunications firm PalTel said on
Saturday that the U.S.
internet networking company will help build telecoms infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza.

PalTel's executive board, told Reuters he expected the deal was worth
around $30 million to $40 million.
PalTel said in a statement that it was
experiencing rapid growth in demand in the West bank and Gaza. Local telephone traffic has risen
to 160 million minutes a day from 15 million in 1997, it said.
Alcatel gets Palestine GSM contract (From Gulf News, December 21,
2004)
Abu
Dhabi - Jawwal, Palestine's mobile-phone operator, has
contracted a French telecom company to replace part of its GSM network
infrastructure in Gaza,
Jawwal's CEO said.
"One of our main goals is to
continuously improve the quality of services we provide to our
customers," said Hakam Kanafani, Jawwal's Chief Executive Officer.
"To achieve this, we must have the
best suppliers in the market. We chose Alcatel because of its proven
experience in similar projects," he said.
Alcatel will be responsible for the
supply, installation, commissioning and integration of its multi-standard
GSM/GPRS/EDGE/ WCDMA radio access solution, including a period of
optimization assistance.
Ambrogio Bandera, Alcatel
Vice-President for south-east Europe, said
the company has been operating in this region for a long time.
"We know the market well and
Jawwal can count on Alcatel's reliability as a partner, as proven with many
mobile service providers worldwide," he said.
Alcatel is a major supplier of PalTel,
the Palestinian fixed telephony operator. The multimillion-dollar project
will be completed early next year.
Palestine most competitive Arab
mobile phone market - by default (From menareport.com, July 27, 2004)
- New analysis and research from the Arab
Advisors Group reveals that Palestine’s
Jawwal faces the most intense competition in its market from the four
Israeli operators that cover the West Bank
and Gaza Strip without a license.
Jordan
ranks as the most competitive Arab market by choice, ranking second after
the Palestinian Authority’s unique situation. Palestine and Sudan are the Arab
World’s most privatized telecom markets: Total Private and Foreign
proportionate share of 2003 revenues stood at 100% in Palestine and 72% in Sudan. Oman and Lebanon
ranked at the other extreme with 100% full state ownership of the sector.
This will change markedly in Oman with the second GSM
license issued to Q Tel consortium this year.
“The weights assigned by the Arab Advisors Group add up to 100%, the
perfect score a country can receive in terms of cellular competition. For
the number of licensed and working operators, each figure was separately
divided by the highest figure of that category, and subsequently multiplied
by its weight.” Mr. Yaman Al Jundi, Arab Advisors Research Analyst
who co authored the report with Ms Adila Bouleghraif said. “For
example, in terms of licensed operators, Jordan has the highest figure
in the region with four. Thus in the case of Kuwait, the Arab Advisors Group
divided its current number of licensed operators with Jordan’s
figure (two divided by four), resulting in a score of 0.5, in other words
50% of the highest regional figure. This number is then multiplied by 15%
and added to Kuwait’s
total score. The same technique was followed for the number of postpaid and
prepaid plans.” Mr. Al Jundi explained.
The most competitive Arab Cellular market was Palestine’s (with a
Cellular Competition Intensity Index score of 85%), followed by Jordan
(67%), Morocco (59%), Yemen (55%), Tunisia (53%), Algeria (52%), Egypt
(50%), Kuwait (44%), Lebanon (43%), Syria (42%), Bahrain (40%), Saudi
Arabia (31%), Oman (23%), Qatar (20%), Sudan (19%) and the UAE (14%).
Paltel seeks to cut ties with
Israeli telecom providers (From menareport.com, March 9, 2004)
- Evading business ties with the Israelis,
Palestinian telecom company Paltel is purchasing equipment to build a new
international call network that would eliminate the need to depend on
technology from the Jewish state.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) currently does not have an independent
international calling system. Communication from abroad reaches Paltel
through one of three Israeli international telecom providers, making it
possible for calls to the West Bank and Gaza strip to be
monitored by Israel.
Paltel has not officially announced plans to build the network; however the
firm has ordered equipment from underwater cable company Med Nautilus and
has requested greater bandwidth capacity for data communications from
Israeli internet companies, Haaretz reported.
Israeli international calling networks are likely to suffer financial
losses should the new Paltel network become operational. Israeli armed
forces will also have difficulty monitoring communications from abroad to
the PA.
According to Paltel, Israel’s military
campaign in PA areas cost the firm $13.5 million in losses by the end of
2002. Some $6.5 million of these lost funds was attributed to a direct four
percent loss in Paltel’s assets, while the remaining seven million
dollars were lost due to a drop in customer activity.
Palestinian Authority sells
shares in Jawal cellular service (February 16, 2004)
(MENAFN) - The cash-strapped
Palestinian National Authority sold its 35 percent stake in the local
cellular phone company Jawal to Paltel, which runs the cellular phone
monopoly, for $43 million, Associated Press reported.
The proceeds will be used to help pay salaries of the 125,000 government
employees, Palestinian Economics Minister Maher Masri said. The sale is
also part of the government's privatization efforts, the official added.
The Palestinian economy has been increasingly weakened over the past few
years. For 2004, the PA is seeking $1.2 billion in foreign aid. The World
Bank says the PA could fall $400 million short.
Sakhr to provide online translation to
Palestinian Jawwal (From Khaleej Times, January
22, 2004)
DUBAI - Sakhr Software Co. and the Palestinian
telecommunications company Jawwal, recently signed an agreement by which
Sakhr will provide some its online translation services as part of the
services offered by Jawwal to its clients & subscribers in Palestine.
The agreement which was signed by Hakam Kanafani, CEO, Jawwal, and Salah
Malaeb, General Manager, Sakhr, states that Sakhr gives Jawwal, the
Palestinian telecommunications company the right to use "Tarjim,"
the machine translation program available at Sakhr's site Ajeeb.com
(www.ajeeb.com), as well as the rights to making this service available at
"Jawwal's" site (www.myjawal.com) for Ajeeb users in Palestine.
"We are very pleased to work hand-in-hand with Sakhr, the Arabic
software giant, so that we may benefit from its advanced
technologies," Hakam Kanafani commented, adding, "and because our
company continually strives towards offering the best services to the
largest segment possible of our people, we have chosen Sakhr to offer the
online translation service to our clients."
"The online translation service is highly successful in most Arab
countries, and it gives us great pleasure to provide this service to users
in Palestine
through the Palestinian telecommunications company, thus assisting Jawwal
in giving their clients the best services," Salah Malaeb elaborated.
Palestinian telecom
firm sues Israeli mobile cos (November 13, 2001)
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The
Palestinian Telecommunications Co (PALTEL) said on Monday it was suing Israel's
top two mobile phone providers for $435 million for allegedly operating
illegally in Palestinian-ruled areas.
The lawsuit against Pelephone and
Cellcom, filed in the West Bank city of Ramallah, marks the
first time a Palestinian company has sued an Israeli counterpart, PALTEL officials
said. “It's not political; it's about dollars and cents,'' Hakam Kanafani,
managing director of PALTEL's cellular unit Jawwal, told reporters.
"Today we are taking a stand. We want a level playing field.
“Any entity deemed in violation (of
Palestinian laws) will be brought to justice,'' he said.
The Israeli companies said they were examining
the matter. “Pelephone is studying the lawsuit and cannot estimate at this
time our chances to succeed or the authority of the Ramallah District court
to rule on the suit,'' a Pelephone spokeswoman said.
Cellcom issued a similar statement.
PALTEL contends that Jawwal, which was
founded in 1999, has a five-year exclusive license to provide mobile
services to Palestinians in the West Bank
and Gaza.
The Palestinian firm alleges that the Israeli firms are offering service as
well, contrary to Palestinian telecom laws and interim Israeli-Palestinian
peace accords.
Paltel in debt to one of Pelephone’s
owners
PALTEL dismissed media speculation it
had brought the lawsuit because it owes tens of millions of dollars to
state-controlled Bezeq Israel Telecom, which owns 50 percent of Pelephone.
The US
investment group Sharock Holdings owns the rest of Pelephone.
PALTEL chief executive officer Mousab
Khorma said the Palestinian firm always ensured outstanding debts were
paid. Kanafani said PALTEL has invested $120 million in creating a mobile
infrastructure and has paid tens of millions of dollars to Palestinian
telecom regulators. It also pays regulators seven percent of revenues,
while Pelephone and Cellcom, he said, do not.
PALTEL and Jawwal, which operates a GSM
mobile network and has roaming agreements with 80 providers in 50 companies
including Israel's Partner Communications, said they spent months
negotiating with Pelephone and Cellcom to no avail. “I am doing what any
CEO of any company in any country would so,'' Kanafani said. “This is about
freedom to compete.''
He dismissed the view that Jawwal was
trying to protect a monopoly situation. “We are not a monopoly, we have a
limited exclusivity.''
The Palestinian company is suing
Cellcom, owned by Bellsouth, Discount Investment Corp and the Safra banking
family of Brazil,
for 1.157 billion shekels ($275 million) and Pelephone for 676 million
shekels ($160 million). Kanafani said he believed Israel
would abide by Palestinian court decisions in accordance with the interim
peace agreements. For the past year, Israel and the Palestinians
have been locked in a cycle of violence in which almost 900 people have
been killed.
Jawwal said it has 181,000 subscribers
of a total of 380,000 in Palestinian areas and Pelephone and Cellcom
account for the rest.
Jawwal said, however, it currently has
capacity for up to 225,000 subscribers, which will grow to 350,000 by the
middle of 2002. It expects to have 225,000 customers by the end of the
first quarter of 2002. “We think it's a supply problem, not a demand
problem,'' Kanafani said, rejecting the notion that the Israeli companies,
which also sell to Jewish settlers in the West Bank and Gaza, are filling
the void that Jawwal cannot handle at this time. “Engineering issues and
marketing issues are independent of them soliciting in our territory,'' he
said.

Paltel on World Telecommunications Day (from paltel.net, May 17, 2001)
- In such an era where Internet is quickly becoming a requirement for
power, World Wide Web (WWW) is now synonymous with progress, prosperity and
development. Yet, uneven distribution of facilities still creates great
disparities in the number of Internet users across regions. Thus, Internet
is the focus being highlighted by this year's World Telecommunications Day
and subsequently stresses the necessity for allowing all nations and namely
developing countries to enjoy the benefits of the Internet and not just a
privileged few.
People all over the world must have the requisite infrastructure, telephone
lines and low pricing to get equal opportunities for accessing the
knowledge the Internet has to offer. This is the core undertaking of
Palestine Telecommunications Company, Paltel, which has committed itself to
ever since inception. The recent step towards this endeavor is the new slogan
adopted by the company entitled "Tell the World". Such a new
positioning revolves around the most important aspect of communications
where tools as the Internet have become major means of international
interaction per influencing the public opinion.
Despite the prevailing political turmoil, border closures and Israeli
blockade of cities throughout Palestine, Paltel is still persistent to
provide Internet and latest advancements in the field of telecommunications
for all. Consecutively, besides the construction of a solid telecom
infrastructure, the company went on deploying certain measurements under
the newly adopted theme by initiating comprehensive reduction plans. Tariff
reductions do cover most services as local & international calls, Multi-Services
Data Network, Video Conferencing by Digital Leased Lines, Videophone, AHLAN

(Reuters) - The mobile telephone unit of the Palestine Telecommunications
Company (Paltel) is being spun off into an independent company with a
capital of 25 million Jordanian dinars ($35.21 million), its managing
director said on Monday.

is going to be a corporate independent structure with independent
financing, marketing, engineering and customer service," Hakam
Kanafani said.
Paltel, which is traded on the
Palestine Securities Exchange (PSE), owns 65 percent of Jawwal while
Palestinian Commercial Services Company, a private Palestinian company, has
35 percent.
"It has always been the plan
to get Jawwal up and running and then spin it off as an independent
company," Kanafani said.
Kanafani said that the company
was going ahead with the move, which is considered effective from January 1, 2001, despite
the nearly seven-month old Palestinian uprising.
"We have to reassert
ourselves no matter what the difficulties," he said. "A lot of
new investment is going to come. We want to expand our network considerably
this year to gain more penetration."
He said an $11 million network
expansion was in the works and Jawwal hoped to expand its 90,000 subscriber
base to 200,000 by the end of 2001 and 450,000 by the end of next year.
"This is one of the first
steps. Paltel is working on spinning off many other companies, like those
that deal with the Internet," Kanafani said.

traded consistently on the PSE. It slid 1.78 percent to close at 2.21
dinars on Monday.
