In an increasingly competitive environment, middle market towercos are refining their rural offerings in order to work more constructively with operators. Among them is Africa Mobile Networks (AMN) whose zero-capex offering allows MNOs to economically extend rural coverage and comply with regulators’ coverage requirements.
