Iraq's mainly continental climate brings a wide range of temperature, with hot summers, particularly in the south, and cold winters, especially on the higher ground. In the mountainous region of the north, summers can be a little cooler and humidity is lower than in the south. During the winter months (October to April) snow often falls on the mountains. In the central areas of Iraq, summers are much hotter, with temperatures in Baghdad rising to about 33.3 o C (92 F) in July and August. It is not unknown for temperatures to soar as high as 50.6 o C (123 F) in this region. Winter in Baghdad brings a mean temperature of about 9.4 o C (49 F).Market developments lay the foundation for future growth Despite developing in leaps and bounds in post-war Iraq, the telecoms industry still holds much growth potential. The main story of telecommunications in Iraq continues to be mobile. Prior to the 2003 Iraq war mobile telecoms did not exist in most of Iraq outside the Kurdish areas. Since then mobile penetration has reached levels indicative of market maturity. Four operators share the market but Zain of Kuwait’s subsidiary Zain Iraq has much the largest market share, with well over 50% of the market.

Looking for a Few Good Entrepreneurs
Boston (Vocus) August 7, 2009 The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is pleased to announce that for the fourth consecutive year, it is searching for bold, fresh, innovative minds to enter its annual entrepreneur competition: the Young Entrepreneur Initiative (YEi). This fall, between six to ten entrepreneurs will be selected to receive some nourishment à la française to get their ventures up and running. "While the French Ministry is launching this contest in the U.S. with the hopes of fortifying the already long established cross-cultural business relationship between the two nations, candidates do not necessarily need to have U.S. citizenship or be young for that matter," said Antoine Mynard, France's scientific attaché in Boston.
