Following the recent announcement of the cancellation of edotco’s acquisition of Jazz’s 13,000 towers in Pakistan, TowerXchange has updated our Pakistan tower market study to include a deep dive into what this means for Pakistan’s fast-growing mobile market and what opportunities may come to the fore next.
While towercos have been licensed in Pakistan since 2006, towers were initially seen as a source of competitive advantage by fiercely competitive MNOs. Attitudes toward infrastructure sharing have thawed since 2011, with over 10,000 co-locations now on Pakistan’s towers. That culture of infrastructure sharing has now crystalised with the rise of edotco, who remain committed to the Pakistani market despite their latest setback.
