Telenor Rocks.
if it rocks than why they have asked number of employee than downsizing in 2014 and people are supposed to get new jobs. Than why revenue is shrinking.
Why corporate business is worst condition?
i see 1 million subscriber decrease in Telenor Total Subscriber base , still Telenor Rocks O_o
If you have gone through above article where Aamir has mentioned “This includes a huge data clean-up activity exercised by Telenor (accounting over 1.45 million subscribers) during July and August 2013.”
I hope it answers your question. and FYI Data Cleaning activity is not a day to day task.
if Ufone and Warid merge, they will be number 1 by about 200k subs !!! that would be an interesting campaign by Ufone :)
Warid’s license remains separate
Great work by Zong as they have improved their network alot thats why their customer has grown very aggressively
