“Blockchain will be ten times more disruptive to the Telecommunication industry than smartphones were.”
― Csaba Gabor

“I think that the existence of the telecommunication sector will be at stake in the near future! Less sim to sim calls will bring less profits for the companies! The people will find myriad ways to communicate with one another on the phone mostly by using the internet only!”
― Md. Ziaul Haque

“আমার মত�� অদূর ভবিষ্যতে টেলিযোগাযো�� খা�� ঝুঁকির মুখে পড়বে! সি�� থেকে সি�� কল কম হল�� কোম্পানিগুলো�� মুনাফা কম হব��! শুধুমাত্�� ইন্টারনে�� ব্যবহা�� করেই মানু�� এক�� অন্যের সাথে যোগাযো�� করার অসংখ্য পথ খুঁজ�� নেবে!”
― Md. Ziaul Haque

“The winter started and it got extremely cold very quickly. There was very little to buy on the market or to eat at the Intourist hotel restaurant. When Luc was in town, we had a little bet going every day. Would we get chicken at lunch or at dinner, or both? Greasy Chicken Kiev. Fat would splatter onto your clothes when you stuck your fork into it. We couldn’t complain. We were negotiating a mobile license while the USSR was disintegrating and we saw the country, which had been an essential part of the centralized plan economy, falling apart quickly”

“I started to organize the procurement process from Denmark, which was good and not good. Good because I had experienced procurement people and engineers close by, and not good because I discovered quickly that we were required to put contracts out to tender under strict EU rules that would thwart our ability to launch on time. That, in turn, would mean that we could risk high penalties and/ or lose the license. After issuing the Request for Proposal and one round of intense negotiations with a couple of network suppliers, we decided to move the procurement team to Hungary. There were two suppliers left, a newcomer called Nokia and the old Ericsson, Finns and Swedes. The final negotiations could start.”
