BANGKOK (AFP): U.S.-based telecommunications giant Motorola announced here yesterday it is making its latest GSM-system cellular mobile phones available in Laos.

The statement came as Laos Telecom, a joint venture between the Laotian government and Shinawatra International of Thailand, officially launched a GSM cellular network, the company said.

"Laos today has less than one telephone per one hundred people," Patrick Aronson, Motorola's regional subscription manager said in the statement, which was issued through an international public relations firm here.
