Lebanon rules out plans for third telecoms operator
- Lebanon: Sunday, February 17 - 2013 at 05:05
The Lebanese telecoms ministry is set to float a tender to run its two state-owned mobile phone operators, currently managed by Kuwait's Zain and Egypt's OTMT, as part of a plan to revamp the telecoms sector, Reuters has reported. The ministry wants to award contracts for an extended 3-5 year period to manage the two state-run mobile phone operators, Touch and Alfa. New companies may win the tender, but there were no plans for a third mobile company to operate alongside Touch and Alfa, said Karim Kobeissi, senior adviser to the ministry. "It will be open for qualified telecom operators," he said. "It's still early to see if other companies are interested."
