Transportation, telecommunications and electricity are essential for the development of the country. It is needed to do any business with goodwill, not for profit only. In operating MyTel telecom business, the company should try to support the country with its services rather than its business goals. Prices should be cheap for same quality products. If the prices are the same in the market, the company should produce a better quality product. The aims of the company to extend its services to rural areas are very good. The company needs to conduct systematic research in order to meet its goals.
