PTA clears Telenor-Ufone merger, setting the stage for telecom consolidation and intensified competition in Pakistan’s mobile market.
PTA has opened public consultation on the proposed merger between Telenor Pakistan and Ufone’s parent PTML, following PTCL’s acquisition of Telenor Pakistan. The regulator will assess competition, spectrum concentration, and consumer impact before granting approvals required to complete the telecom sector consolidation.
PTCL’s merger with Telenor Pakistan is moving towards approval with a new $1 billion investment offer. The deal, anticipated to enhance mobile competition, could position Ufone as the second-largest telecom provider in Pakistan, benefiting consumers with better services.
