...as WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Public Mobile, and Vidéotron Ltée. YAK Communications was founded in 1999 by Tony Lacavera as a dial-around long-distance service. Its sister company WIND Mobile is one these new wireless players and is making inroads in this complex market. YAK Communications started as a re-seller of long-distance services by purchasing bulk long-distance capacity at wholesale prices from the large carriers and selling it at discount prices to consumers – no need for contracts, customers just dialled a number before their long-distance number and the discounted rates applied. In 2006 Tony Lacavera oversaw Globalive’s purchase of YAK Communications, a private company that also owns Wind Mobile. Lacavera is Chairman of Globalive and has a 35% stake in the company. Today YAK Communications carefully segments the telecommunications market, offering discounted services to consumer and business markets. Let’s look at its offerings and how it segments the market. Yak started by buying blocks of long distance time from the major phone companies and selling the time back to the public. It intentionally did not compete head-to-head with the large telecommunications companies, opting to follow a niche marketing approach by servicing ethnic Canadian consumers who wanted discounted long distance rates to call family and friends abroad.

...Orascom Telecom Case Course: MKTG36048 Date: January 24th, 2012 Sheridan College Executive Summary With Orascom’s Algerian office being attacked and its failure to enter the Indian market, they have a real problem assessing risks in internationalization. The company has done really well locally becoming the market leader within Egypt by owning 43.6% of market share within the telecom industry. Algeria showed the right signs for entry as its GDP increased at a rate of 3.8% per year. There was also very little competition in Algeria since there was only one telecom company available. However there were country risks that were not assessed. This resulted in Orascoms office in Algeria to be attacked by angry soccer fans. India took on new liberalized laws that would open the telecom industry to the private sector and reduce tariffs. The telecom sector was projected to make $43 billion in revenues. This shows that there were investments to be made in the industry as there were millions of new subscribers every year. However, Orascom failed to capitalize on the huge Indian market as it failed in the Indian market within in a short amount of time of entering. If Orascom follows the recommendation of improving its strategic planning, then the risks of internationalization will be minimized and this will result in the company being very successful entering foreign markets.
