What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ooredoo Group and Zain Group completed the first closing of a regional tower transaction. The two companies will jointly own the platform, with each holding a 50% stake. This initial phase combines tower assets from Ooredoo Qatar (Al Abraj) and Zain Kuwait (ITK), totaling approximately 4,000 towers. The platform is designed to support infrastructure-as-a-service and is expected to integrate additional tower portfolios as it expands.
