According to a special report by Reuters Africa, a number of international telecoms giants are keen to enter Libya’s underdeveloped communications sector, but will only discover how they can do so after the war-torn country's first free elections, which are set to be held in June. Communications Minister Anwar El-Feitori told Reuters: ‘At least three or four , but we will leave it to the next government to decide on that’. To date, UAE-based Etisalat, Qatar Telecom (Qtel) and Saudi Telecom Company (STC) have all expressed an interest in entering the market, which is widely acknowledged as one of the major business opportunities created by last year's uprising, which saw Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s 42-year dictatorship toppled.
