Egyptian operator deploys AI for
unbanked subscribers
Learning techniques – all in real-time. It allows the operator to
determine the most appropriate product offers to keep customers
connected, ranging from airtime credit, digital top-ups or bundle
sales, and automate their digital distribution via the subscriber’s
preferred channels.
The deployment of iCarrier Data is expected to give the Egyptian
operator a 360-degree view of each subscriber, which in combination
with fonYou’s AI module, allows them to activate the right product at
the right time, according to the user’s ability to pay.
A n agreement has been reached between fonYou and a
mobile operator in Egypt to deploy its iCarrier Data platform
for the distribution of hyper-personalised airtime, data bundles and
other carrier products. “The operator will deploy our new-generation iCarrier Data platform
to monetise low-balance data events and take its commercial
operations to the next level,” said Fernando Núñez Mendoza, CEO
of fonYou.
It is a new-generation platform that enables mobile carriers to
predict and optimise their real-time responses to customer needs,
even when they run out of credit. “This commercial project will illustrate that the iCarrier platform is
a win-win for both subscribers and the operator. Subscribers will
receive hyper-personalised offers that keep them online at all times.
The operator will be able to proactively offer new services, driving up
quality of experience (QoE) and, in doing so, taking a significant step
forward in the Digital Transformation of its business.”

Nigeria turns the tide on
electronic waste
A
n ambitious new project launched in Lagos is aiming to reform
the electronics sector and put an end to the toxic toll improper
management of electronic waste in Nigeria.
Over half a million tonnes of discarded appliances are processed in
the country every year, threatening both the health of people in the
informal recycling industry and the nation’s environment.
With backing from the Global Environment Facility, the Government
of Nigeria has joined forces with UN Environment and partners to
turn the tide on e-waste, under the Circular Economy Approaches for
the Electronics Sector in Nigeria project.
Led by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations
Enforcement Agency (NESREA), the US$15 million initiative will bring
together players from government, the private sector and civil society
to kickstart a financially self-sustaining circular economy approach
for electronics in Nigeria, protecting the environment while creating
safe employment for thousands of Nigerians.
Naoko Ishii, GEF CEO and Chairperson, said: “To achieve a world
without waste, we must radically rethink our relationship with natural

resources and key economic systems. We need to adopt a new
way of doing business that brings together all actors along the
supply chain, and across entire industries.
“The Nigerian electronic waste project will put this new way of
thinking into practice and is an approach we hope other African
countries will adopt.”
