So now that the contracts for cell phone services for Iraq have been let by the Governing Council, we can ask; What American corporate cronies of the Bush-Cheney cabal have been cut in on the action?
Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint?
MCI, Qualcomm, and SBC?
The Iraqi Communications Ministry granted licences to three consortia: one led by Orascom Telecom, an Egyptian firm, and the others to groups led by Asia Cell and Atheer Tel. All three include Iraqi firms, and the second two have significant representation from neighbouring Kuwait, which Iraq - under Saddam Hussein - invaded in 1990.
