(Telecompaper) Moroccan telecom regulator ANRT has approved the bids for LTE licences submitted by the country's three mobile operators, Maroc Telcom, Medi Telecom and Wana Corporate.

The market vision and business plans will contribute to developing the broadband and superfast broadband markets in Morocco. Maroc Telecom bid MAD 1 billion (about USD 99.23 mln) for its licence, Wana Corporate MAD 503 million, and Medi Telecom MAD 500.44 million.

Medical doctor and economist Christopher Murray began the Global Burden of Disease studies to gain a truer understanding of how we live and how we die. While it is one of the largest scientific projects ever attempted — as breathtaking as the first moon landing or the Human Genome Project — the questions it answers are meaningful for every one of us: What are the world's health problems? Who do they hurt? How much? Where? Why? In Epic Measures (HarperWave), journalist Jeremy N. Smith offers an intimate look at Murray and his groundbreaking work — introducing a visionary leader whose unwavering determination to improve global health standards has already changed the way the world addresses issues of health and wellness, sets policy, and distributes funding.
