What Is Social Finance?
Social finance is the application of finance to achieve a social objective. Long the focus of governments and charities, social finance has now become a specialized field of finance and an area of focus for profit-seeking corporations.
Many different kinds of organizations seek better methods to reach and serve those in the lowest socio-economic groups. Banks, consumer finance companies, retailers, non-profit organizations and even telecom companies are just a few examples. Although their embrace of the world's lower income population may appear similar, organizations often differ in their intentions. Some seek the elimination of poverty as a social good, others seek to create new pools of consumers for their products. Some seek to do both.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Sean Williams]
Telecommunications company Orange (NYSE: ORAN ) (previously France Telecom) made headlines this week via a Reuters report that suggests it's in talks to sell its mobile operations in the Dominican Republic for approximately $1.2 billion. Orange holds the second-highest market share in the country, at 38.4%, so it should have quite a few interested parties given that subscribership rose by 5.4% in the first quarter. Orange would likely use the proceeds to pay down debt or for acquisitions in fast-growing emerging markets.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Doug Young]
I've been writing about the VNO development for awhile now, as it's really quite exciting with the potential to instantly triple the number of telecoms service providers in the market from the current three to a new field of 8-9 operators. Equally important, most of those new operators, which would lease network capacity from the existing three telcos, are private sector firms. That means they should be much more nimble and innovative than the current monopoly of three big state-run companies, China Mobile, China Unicom (CHU) and China Telecom (CHA).

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Reuters]
Michael Sohn/APSprint CEO Dan Hesse Sprint has been ranked last among U.S. cellphone service operators in a customer satisfaction survey by the influential Consumer Reports organization, scoring dismal marks for measures ranging from voice to 4G reliability. No-frills carrier Consumer Cellular received the highest overall score of 88 out of 100, followed by U.S. Cellular (USM) with 75. Sprint received the lowest score of 59, faring the worst in terms of value, voice, text and 4G services. The annual ratings were based on a September survey of 58,399 cellphone service subscribers by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, which publishes widely followed surveys and reviews of everything from cars to refrigerators. In last year's survey, Sprint (S) trailed only Verizon Wireless among the four major carriers. Verizon Wireless (VZ) (VOD) ranked highest again this year with a score of 71. T-Mobile US (TMUS) rated 65 and AT&T (T) 64, according to survey results released Thursday. The rankings are based on ratings for voice, text and 4G, taking into account the occurrence of problems and adjusted for frequency of use. Sprint has been revamping its network after years of customer losses. The company, which is 80 percent owned by SoftBank, warned in October that customer defections would remain high in coming quarters. The company reported a decline in third-quarter revenue as it lost more subscribers than expected following the shutdown of its older network. "Our latest cell service satisfaction survey revealed a somewhat precipitous decline by Sprint that shuffled the rankings of the major standard service providers," Glenn Derene, Electronics Content Development Team Leader for Consumer Reports, said in a statement.
