Grameenphone CellBazaar nominated for Global Award
CellBazaar, an innovative market-access service from Grameenphone Ltd., has been nominated for the 3GSMA Global Mobile Awards 2008, in the category of "Best Use of Mobile for Social & Economic Development."
The 3GSMA Global Mobile Awards - the 'Oscars' of an industry that serves a third of the world's population - represents a stage for all players in the mobile world to attract the attention of their peers and the global media.
Using Grameenphone CellBazaar, buyers and sellers are able to trade basic goods (eg, rice, fish, motorcycle, used goods) from their mobile phones, bringing the benefits of information exchange, community networking and one-to-many trading to a previously unwired rural population.
Grameenphone CellBazaar is a user-generated market, accessible via mobile phone or computers in Bangladesh. It is a low cost, pay-as-you-use service where users pay the standard SMS or GPRS charges each time the service is accessed. There are no monthly or posting fees.
With CellBazaar, the seller and buyer can use their mobile phones to check market prices, or use the information to attain favorable prices or make an informed purchase decision in the market. The value proposition is in the ability to create a many-to-many community.
Speaking on the nominations for this award, GSMA CEO Rob Conway said that "The 2008 Global Mobile Awards have once again attracted a widely diverse range of entries from all corners of the world, demonstrating the social, business and economic impact that mobile communications is having on society. I congratulate the nominees on their achievement thus far, being short-listed by our independent judging panel is no mean feat given the caliber of subject matter experts it comprises, and the quality and quantity of submissions received. We await the announcement of the winners at the Global Mobile Awards evening during the Mobile World Congress with keen interest."
The other four nominees in the same category with CellBazaar are: Grameen Foundation for Village Phone Direct; Motorola for Solar & wind powered GSM macro cellsite; Nokia Siemens Networks for Village Connection; and Safaricom for M-PESA.
The 3GSMA Global Mobile Awards 2008 will be presented at the world's largest and most successful mobile industry event, the Mobile World Congress (formerly the 3GSM World Congress) at Barcelona, Spain, from the 11-15 February 2008.

Grameenphone begins fiber replacement of Bangladesh Railway's Fiber Optic Network
Grameenphone begins fiber replacement of Bangladesh Railway's Fiber Optic Network
Grameenphone has once again taken the initiative to increase the strength of its transmission network by upgrading a major portion of the nationwide Fiber Optic Network leased from Bangladesh Railway (BR).
With the formal inauguration of the BR Fiber Replacement Project in Pubail, Gazipur earlier this month, Grameenphone not only took a big step to prepare its own network to meet future challenges, but also to contribute to the technical development of an important national resource.
Grameenphone CTO Md. Shafiqul Islam expressed a great deal of confidence in providing better services to its valued subscribers especially at the remotest part of the country through the BR fiber replacement project. "This project will substantially increase the capacity of the nationwide BR Fiber Optic Network and it is also an indication of Grameenphone's continued efforts to provide its subscribers the best network experience," he added.
It should be noted that Grameenphone has been using the 2,000-km BR-owned nationwide Fiber Optic Network for the last ten years on lease to build a state-of-the-art mobile transmission backbone network and to serve its growing subscriber base.
In the first phase of the project, 628-km of fiber optic link will be replaced along four different routes, in alignment with the transmission network requirements. Eventually, almost 1600 kilometers of the total fiber optic network will be upgraded from a composite cable network of single-pair fiber to 24-pair fiber and 10-pair copper cable network to support the requirements of Grameenphone and Bangladesh Railway simultaneously.
This fiber replacement project will add to the strength of Grameenphone's network, making it possible for the company to serve its subscribers better. At the same time, Bangladesh Railway will benefit from a new robust transmission network that is essential for an effective train transport management system.

Grameenphone CellBazaar wins Global Mobile Award
CellBazaar, an innovative market-access service from Grameenphone Ltd., has won the 3GSMA Global Mobile Award 2008, in the category of "Best Use of Mobile for Social & Economic Development."
The 3GSMA Global Mobile Awards - the 'Oscars' of an industry that serves a third of the world's population - represents a stage for all players in the mobile world to attract the attention of their peers and the global media. The award was announced at a gala award dinner last night on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress currently being held in the Spanish city of Barcelona.
Grameenphone CellBazaar is a "great initiative - full marks for self-sustainability. This grass root level initiative is not only for operators to make money but for rural folks to sell and trade their goods and increased price transparency and help for the illiterate is also available. It has clear environmental benefits through reduced travel," the Award Judges said in their citation.
"CellBazaar is a great example of Grameenphone's continued leadership in simple, smart and customer relevant innovation," noted CEO Anders Jensen. "This award along with the awards GP previously won for HealthLine and Village Phone are a global recognition of the spirit of innovation within Grameenphone. I congratulate CellBazaar and its excellent team for this achievement."
The CellBazaar concept was developed at the MIT Media Lab by Kamal Quadir and he later founded a company to establish a partnership with Grameenphone. Using Grameenphone CellBazaar, buyers and sellers are able to trade basic goods (eg, rice, fish, motorcycle, used goods) from their mobile phones, bringing the benefits of information exchange, community networking and one-to-many trading to a previously unwired rural population.
Grameenphone CellBazaar is a user-generated market, accessible via mobile phone or computers in Bangladesh. It is a low cost, pay-as-you-use service where users pay the standard SMS or GPRS charges for accessing the service. There are no monthly or posting fees.
"Each year as the influence of mobile communications spreads further to enhance more and more aspects of people's lives, the scope of the Awards become greater, and the competition becomes more intense as a result. Because the mobile world is such an amazing universe of opportunities, its gravitational forces are pulling other industries into its realm-internet, finance, advertising, music and film. Many of tonight's winners reflect that premise, and as we celebrate 20 years since the foundations for global mobile communication were laid, they demonstrate not only how far we have come, but also the limitless possibilities of where innovation and inspiration can take us in the years ahead," observed GSM Association CEO Rob Conway.
The other four nominees in the same category with CellBazaar were: Grameen Foundation for Village Phone Direct; Motorola for solar & wind powered GSM macro cell site; Nokia Siemens Networks for Village Connection; and Safaricom for M-PESA.
