Our research indicates that we are still the market leaders in dongles and in small screen data but, for us, the focus was on moving people onto using the internet on their handsets, rather than laptops. The Sür@ (Bakcell 3G service) brand and the Bakcell brand are well known for providing the best mobile data and mobile internet services. Therefore, combining these with a Bakcell branded handset of good quality and high functionality was an obvious step for us. Approximately 45% of the market uses Sür@”, says Richard Shearer, CEO of Bakcell. "We are pleased to award Mobile Internet Provider of the Year to Richard Shearer, CEO of Bakcell. The development of Internet applications for mobile phones has revolutionized not just the ICT sector but has changed the way we live and do business forever.
