A New Era for Pakistan’s Telecom: Ufone and Telenor Merger Nears Completion
In a landmark development for Pakistan’s telecom sector, Ufone 4G and Telenor Pakistan are scheduled to merge next week, forming a single, unified entity. This consolidation is one of the most significant shifts the industry has seen.
After an extensive 18-month review, the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has confirmed that the merger’s approval process is in its final stages. Authorities have highlighted the key role of PTCL in this deal, and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has linked the merger to ongoing preparations for the nation’s highly anticipated 5G spectrum auction.
