If suppose Telenor did hand over management to Grameen bank how would a non profit cell phone company help in eradicating poverty in Bangladesh. The only conrtibution I see of GP is the tax revenue for the Govt and the massive job opportunities for the BD labour market that GP has created. If grameen bank takes over the management and makes it non profit what else can it do to that will eradicate poverty? Can anyone enlighten me please.
