In September 2018 edotco announced the cancellation of their agreement to acquire Jazz’s 13,000 towers in Pakistan. While this was a blow for edotco’s growth plans in the country, TowerXchange caught up with Arif Hussin, country managing director at edotco Pakistan to discuss edotco’s continuing growth narrative in the country and why they’re as committed as ever to fibre, towers and their neutral host service offering in Pakistan.
TowerXchange: Can you give us an overview of your portfolio in Pakistan as it stands now? What % of your towers are urban vs rural? When you acquired the towers from Towershare their tenancy ratio was 1.6x.
