The Africa & Middle East Mobile Network Operator Directory 2013
Overview - Operators Profiled - Subscriber Data - Management Teams
How the directory is researched and produced
The MNO Directory 2013 has been researched in house, lead by Mark Thomas, who has lead all of the research for the directory series since 2006 (MNO Directory, MVNO Directory, WiMAX Directory and the Fixed Line Directory). Other in house material has been extracted from Africa & Middle-East Telecom-week, mainly the subscriber data for this region.
The first stage of creating a new edition of the MNO Directory is to verify the list of operators is still valid. The researchers use several telecoms news feeds to track global changes; adding new operators, removing defunct entries and amending all those noted as changing ownership, names or launching new technology. Operators may however choose to action technology or ownership changes without notifying the media.
The second stage is the main research segment. This is conducted by Internet research and contacting the operators directly. Every operation is examined individually and updated as best possible. The main sources of information are operator websites, parent companies, company filings, interim and annual reports, media / press releases, regulator pages and data, other trade media as well as blogs, conference companies and social networking sites. Where the last 3 sources are used the researchers also seek a secondary source to verify against.
During the editing and proofing process the researchers cleanse the data further by removing obvious errors and enriching where possible.
