Announcement by Roshan Telecom, an AKFED company in Afghanistan

Kabul, Afghanistan June 19, 2008: Roshan, the leading telecommunications operator in Afghanistan, today announced that it has reached 2 million active subscribers, reaffirming its position as the mobile operator market leader in Afghanistan. Roshan will celebrate this significant milestone today at a special event in Kabul where the firm will award the winners of its Lucky Draw. The event will also feature Afghan singer and Roshan’s new brand ambassador Farhad Darya, who will sing live at the event to mark the occasion.

Roshan is the first and only company in Afghanistan to reach the 2 million active subscriber mark and complies with international standards for counting customers, active and paying. The firm, which began operations in July 2003, as the second GSM provider in Afghanistan, before any basic telecommunications infrastructure was established, is now present in over 224 cities and towns and in 33 of 34 provinces, covering almost 56% of the population. Roshan has invested more than $338 million USD to offer Afghanistan the highest network quality and is committed to the reconstruction and rebuilding of Afghanistan through its extensive corporate social responsibility programs.
