Roshan (Persian: روشن) is an Afghan telecommunications provider, serving over six million active subscribers. In January 2003, Roshan was awarded the second GSM license in Afghanistan, at a time when there was only one other mobile phone operator, Afghan Wireless in the country. Decades of civil wars had left a limited telecommunications infrastructure. Prior to the fall of the Taliban, phone lines were not accessible to the population, and Afghans had to travel abroad to make international calls. Roshan, which means "light" or "hope" in Persian, is one of Afghanistan's leading telecommunications providers. Today, Roshan's GSM network reaches 240 cities and towns across all of Afghanistan's 34 provinces. The network covers over 91% of the population, including the most remote rural areas.
