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.
