WorldTel is an independent, privately funded commercial corporation, initiated
by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) * to organize large telecommunications
infrastructure projects in developing countries, with three Principal objectives:
- to identify emerging countries and regions for the development of major telecommunications infrastructures, using the most appropriate technology
- to raise financing for projects by offering private, institutional and public market investors and institutions unique opportunities to invest in rapidly growing emerging markets
- to work in partnership with the governments of developing countries, local private companies, international equipment suppliers and operators to identify, structure, fund and manage major telecommunications projects for the benefit of the peoples and economies of those countries.
This unique partnership between the ITU and the
private sector combines the energy, enthusiasm and entrepreneurship of two visionaries.
