Egypt's OT will help build and run the key network in Baghdad and central Iraq, MTC's consortium has won the contract for southern Iraq and National Mobile Telecommunications, also known as Wataniya Telecom, has clinched the deal for the north with Kurdish communications company Asia-Cell.

All groups include Iraqi partners and Arab telecoms firms.

SECURITY CHALLENGE

OT Chairman Naguib Sawiris told Reuters in Cairo that security was one of the toughest challenges facing the company's plans in Iraq. Other problems included finding "the people who would be willing to go there (Iraq)..., the logistics, moving from one site to another, the construction of the sites."

The consortia are under pressure to start services. Under license rules they have to have their networks running within two months -- although Ebadi said he would prefer services to be live by the end of the month.
