Smart raises €56.7m to fund 3G rollout

http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/news.nv?storyid=single5841

Up and coming telecoms operator Smart Telecom this morning said it has completed the drawdown of a finance package worth €56.7m to fund the initial payments for the 3G and 900MHz spectrum licences recently awarded by the Commission for Communications Regulation.

“This financing marks a significant step in our 3G mobile plans and complements Smart’s strategy in providing high-speed broadband to the Irish market,” said Smart CEO Oisín Fanning. “These initiatives will establish Smart as the most advanced provider of next-generation, converged broadband/mobile communications services in the Irish market.”
