Morodo Makes Mobile Africa a Reality at AfricaCom 2010

London – Morodo will be looking to jump start the mobile market in Africa by offering consumers and businesses unique and affordable solutions to communication. Morodo has vast expertise and knowledge operating in the telecommunication sector and will be sharing their vision and views on the mobile revolution that is happening in Africa.

Morodo already operates in over 120 countries and provides low-cost Telephony and Unified Communication services within the mobile and online applications market via its MO-Call product. If you can make a local mobile call, you can make a cheap international MO-Call and save up to 90% over mobile network operator tariffs. At present, MO-Call device footprint is 2,094, which includes the largest software of Java feature phones. This is a group of phones that is the most affordable and most favored among African users. With the pace that manufacturers are releasing new handsets, MO-Call device footprint will continue to increase.

“We feel that Africa is the jewel in the mobile crown with countries like South Africa, mobile phones outnumber fixed lines by eight to one with their usage growing at 50 to 60 percent per year for the whole continent. We want to be part of making a mobile Africa a reality,” says Andrew Reid, CEO of Morodo. “With an estimated 333 million mobile subscriptions in Africa and almost one billion people on the continent now able to afford a mobile phone, mobile phones have not only become more affordable but also the preferred choice for communicating and connecting to the Internet.”

It was not until the beginning of 2010, accessing the Internet overtook traditional fixed usage(International Telecommunication Union, 2010). “Mobile broadband is in its very initial stage but has shown higher growth than fixed broadband and may be Africa’s most promising broadband access technology of the future(Ghana Business News, 2010).” This represents a unique opportunity for investors and mobile operators, looking to expand their products and services and making mobile Africa truly a reality.

Morodo will be attending the 2010 AfricaCom Exhibition, held in South Africa at the Cape Town Convention Centre at stand number D06, Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th November.

TGMS Sports Turf Consultancy and Pitch Drainage Specialists

TGMS – the leading sports turf consultancy practice – are now at the top of their game having recently announced the acquisition of their brand new GPS, the Leica Viva GPS. This enables the company to utilise all available satellite systems when they are out in the field and take advantage of Smartnet correction service. This in turn allows them to work to the Ordinance Survey National Grid, whether they are working on sports pitch drainage , football pitch construction or even if they are working on a synthetic sports pitch.

Speaking exclusively about TGMS’s new acquisition Oliver Munro, surveyor and field engineer for TGMS he said:

“I am extremely happy with the new GPS equipment. This not only ensures that we can continue to provide our existing services, but we can now also offer additional services such as setting out a site for re-grading, setting out pitch locations and as built surveys.”

In other news, Dr Richard Earl, Managing Director of Tgms Ltd, has written an article which appears in this month’s Sports Management Magazine, titled “Pitch design from the inside out”. In an age where sports turf is used for all sorts of events such as concerts and festivals, it’s crucial that the best care and attention is being paid in order to sustain the quality of turf for its primary needs.

Dr Earl says: “Creating an environment within which turf will thrive is crucial to long-term sustainability. The application of science and engineering to the design and construction of natural turf facilities has a lot to offer the industry. However, long-established, basic principles are often ignored.”

He goes on to explain his thoughts in detail, which can be read here: http://www.tgms.co.uk/uploads/documents/Sports%20Management%20-%20Pitch%20design%20from%20the%20inside%20out.pdf

Looking for Venture Capital Funds and Angel Investors? VC Equity Can Help

November 4, 2010 – Finding angel investors who could provide venture capital funds is the biggest challenge for early-stage, start-up companies, with potentially high growth prospects, in high technology areas. If you are an entrepreneur with a business model using a novel technology, or setting up a company in a high technology sector like Biotechnology or IT, probably you too are faced with this challenge. Take heart, help is at hand, with VC Equity.

VC Equity provides a forum for entrepreneurs and start-ups looking for venture capital funds to connect with angel investors and venture capitalists. Hundreds of angel investors and venture capitalists regularly log on to its website to view the proposals submitted by various entrepreneurs.

VC Equity has helped many new entrepreneurs, with proposals in complex technology areas that seem too risky to conservative investors, find venture capital funds and realise the high growth potential of their enterprise.

Not only entrepreneurs with proposals in seemingly high risk fields, but also companies with limited operating history are in need of venture capital funds. Typically, these companies are too small to raise capital in the public markets and have not reached the stage where they could secure a bank loan or completed a debt offering. VC Equity is no less than a boon for such companies. They will find at VC Equity, a large number of potential investors, who will be interested in investing in them, in addition to angel investing and other seed funding operations.

Venture capitalists are very selective in deciding what to invest in. On an average, a venture capitalist invests in one in four hundred opportunities presented to it. This underlines the need of a forum like VC Equity which can help an entrepreneur or start-up company meet hundreds of venture capitalists and present their proposal.

Young companies wishing to raise venture capital funds need a an extremely rare combination of much sought after qualities – like innovative technology, rapid growth potential, a well-developed business model, and an impressive management team.
