==History== Upon [[privatization]] on 23 January 2000, [[Jordan Telecom Group]] was 60% owned by Jordan's government. The remaining 40% of the group's [[stock|shares]] were owned by JITCO Investment Group, a holding company consisting of [[Orange S.A.|France Télécom]] (88%) and the [[Arab Bank]] (12%).
==Mobile== On 30 March 2010, Orange Jordan launched its 3G network – The first 3G network in [[Jordan]]. The [[W-CDMA]] network was rolled out in three phases, according to Orange Jordan's Ex-CEO [[Nayla Khawam]].
