STC CEO Dr. Khaled Al Ghoneim commented on the event: "Such agreements mirror our mutual desire to identify and evaluate potential areas for partnership across many markets that STC is present in," noting that the agreement with iPass, the biggest Wi-Fi network service provider and which offers its services to hotels, airports, and aircrafts, will greatly enhance STC Group's services platform, in line with international roaming technologies.

Among these initiatives, focusing on international roaming and data transfer services based on the Wi-Fi technology, aimed at offering competitive prices and discounts based on the commercial scale of all 3 Groups.
