YAOUNDE, Cameroon-France Telecom signed a concession agreement for Global System for Mobile communications wireless phone service in Cameroon, to be operated by Yaounde-based Societe Camerounaise de Mobiles.
SCM will build a GSM network, enabling service in both Yaounde and Douala, by the end of the year, said France Telecom.
SCM is fully owned by France Telecom, but the company said it plans to sell a 30-percent equity interest in SCM to Cameroonian partners within two years.
