I have a wild idea! What do you think of it?

a) Ownership (shareholding) dictates corporate agenda, local ownership
locally benefits or burdens (converse is also true)
b) GSM Technology is not new, where can it be purchased?
c) Capital Markets Authority grants NSE a special listing for a local public
GSM company.
d) We buy this company's shares
e) We use "our" company's network
f)  Current duopolies become competition receptive
g) Prices come down, super profits vanish!
h) Consumers are happy
i)  MDGs targets become clearer.

Wild I guess?

Regards,
