Iran is the Middle East’s largest mobile market and, with infrastructure sharing having been limited to date, significant parallel infrastructure and inefficiencies exist. In early 2017, number one and number three operators, MCI and RighTel joined forces with Fanasia to create a new towerco, Iranian Towers, an entity designed to bring new efficiencies to the MNOs’ networks. TowerXchange speak to Morteza Taheribakhsh, Chairman of Iranian Towers.
