New Markets

We aim to provide remote technical support services for technology consumers and SMEs within the new emerging markets.

Due to the experience we gained by the 11820 Technology Support Line and Teknosa Customer Support Package, we have the ability and experience to provide services to International Telco customers.

We have noticed serious demand for technical support services particularly among the African countries with a profound increase in both internet and mobile technology penetration since last 5 years.

On the contrary, ICT support services are not yet sophisticated enough. Our intention is to set up co-op services with local telecom operators to meet increasing technical support demand.

Page 12: Call Center Based Technology Support Services for Africa

Why Africa?

• Africa is new and developing ICT market, total population is over a billion.

• Huge and young population who lately meet ICT technologies.

• Rapid increase in mobile and internet penetration since 5 years.

• 2nd largest mobile market after Asia.

• 8 Telecom Operators and over 650 million subscribers.

• Internet penetration is over 27%.

• ICT support and training is becoming a major need.

We believe our business model which is to provide support services via phone and remote computer access, will be beneficial especially for the consumers in large African countries having logistic difficulties.

Page 13: Call Center Based Technology Support Services for Africa

Executive Summary

Regarding the geographic size and difficulties in Africa, we expect our remote support services will be requested by the technology users.

By the end of 5th year, our goal is to serve over 1 million technology users in more than 10 African Countries.

In order to determine primary markets we have generated an index with respect to ICT and GNI data of each African country.

Page 14: Call Center Based Technology Support Services for Africa

Executive Summary (continued)

Although Egyptian market is on the top of the primary markets list, recent political and social unstability in the country is a threat preventing us to initiate a business in the first beginning.

During the first year we rather prefer to enter other northern African countries like Tunis, Morocco and Algeria, concerning close social and economic relationships with Turkey.

By the 2nd year of business development, taking english literacy and high technology penetration rates into account we will target sub-Saharan African countries.

Threats and Risks

Due to different telecom regulations in some African countries , permission processes may take longer.

Operational issues during start up in each market.

Payment collection may be a risk. Risk can be tolerated by service freeze or shut down.

However all those risks don't have high financial risks but may delay/postpone the service growth.

We target to co-operate with African Fixed Line operators to minimize the risks above.
