34、the current situation as a challenge. The capital requirements of Telekoms infrastructure are enormous.

35、projects have been delayed? Carol: Yes, but not cancelled. Our advisers are telling us that a temporary reduction in the number of new projects is net serious.

36、u have several major challenges in your effort to upgrade the telecommunications network in this country. Carol: Yes, that is true. I see three major challenges.

39、: The government has been very supportive. By allowing the industry to become privatised there has been much progress. It acted very sensibly and compared to other countries in the region it has worked very well. Our relationship with the government and other telecommunications operators is good. In

40、terviewer: You are referring to the huge international group investors? Carol: Yes. In 1995, five international groups committed themselves to the development of the telecommunications infrastructure in five regions of the country. Each group agreed to install a target number of lines and operate th

41、em for 15 years and then return them to Telekom. Interviewer: And it looks as if the private sector development is also well-established in the mobile communications sector? Carol: The number of subscribers has jumped to 562, 500 from 25,000 two years ago. There are three competing suppliers. Each o

42、f these three operations is a joint venture with ourselves. This is an area which is seeing major growth throughout Asia. We are glad to be part of it. Interviewer: So in your view there is not too much to worry about? Carol: There are plenty of issues that need to be resolved but I am sure that the
