Mobile Phone Operator (Per Country)
Each country where E-TIC is present requires some sort of support from a mobile phone operator. This has to be organized per country so that people sending SMSs don't have the added expense of sending them internationally.

Ongoing Involvement
- Operator collaboration is required for the lifetime of the project
