A consortium, led by Vodacom affiliate Safaricom, has won a licence to operate a mobile network in Ethiopia. It's the first such award to a private group as the country looks to open up its telecoms industry to competition. The consortium includes Vodacom Group; Vodafone Group; Sumitomo Corporation and CDC Group. It won the bid by offering $850 million dollars.
