TowerXchange: When we last spoke to Group CEO Suresh Sidhu, edotco was managing 13,000km of fibre in Pakistan while awaiting receipt of a license to trade as a towerco, in anticipation of building ~200 towers for the local operators – what is the current state and focus of your Pakistani operation?
Arif Hussain, Country Managing Director, edotco Pakistan:
In Pakistan, our operations are more focused on building edotco’s brand attributes with our target MNO partners, leveraging on the strength that our regional 14,000 operational tower presence gives us.
