OPERITU:
Database on telecommunication operators and service providers in developing countries
Edition 2003	

This online database, developed by ITU at the request of ITU-D Sector Members, contains details of telecommunication operators and service providers, both public and private, in developing countries, together with more specific information on various companies. It is an essential tool for operators and service providers wishing to announce their presence, to highlight their development projects, to identify potential partners (financiers, equipment manufacturers, software developers, operators, etc.) and to address market opportunities. In addition, it gives firms wishing to participate in telecommunication development in developing countries the possibility of targeting and profiling operators and service providers more accurately, while at the same time opening up attractive prospects in areas of collaboration.
This system, which is available on the ITU website (http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/partners/operitu.asp), allows search by region/country or by selecting predefined criteria. It is updated on a regular basis.
