Mobistar S.A.
 PROFILE
Mobistar leads the French advance across Belgian lines by attacking two high-growth opportunities in telecommunications: mobile phone and data services. The company, 51%-owned by France Telecom, is Belgium's #2 wireless operator (behind Belgacom's Proximus), serving one-third of the market. The company has more than 1.9 million subscribers who use its digital GSM (global system for mobile communications) wireless network. Mobistar is building a Belgian fiber-optic network to provide business voice, data, and Internet services and it provides indirect fixed-line phone service to consumers. Mobistar has agreed to acquire the 80% of Germany's Debitel, including its Belgian mobile unit, it does not already own.
