SuperCell, a mobile operator active in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC’s) eastern cities of Goma, Bukavu and Uvira, has reportedly taken legal action against watchdog Autorite de Regulation de la Poste et des Telecommunications (ARPTC) and rival operator Congo Chine Telecom (CCT), local website www.7sur7.cd reports. SuperCell, which launched in July 2002, has accused the regulator of distributing frequencies that belong to it, to CCT’s parent company, France Telecom-Orange (FT-Orange) in October 2011; that month saw the French giant complete the 100% acquisition of the cellco for USD196, whilst simultaneously paying USD71 million for improved licence terms and additional spectrum.
