Tower Sharing Company 'Towers & Co.' Being Established
Orascom is planning to establish a company for tower and infrastructure sharing in Pakistan, as told by the sources close to the scenario.
“Towers & Co.”, this is likely to be the name of the company, will start with Telenor and Mobilink, as we earlier reported that they are working jointly for 3G implementation.
Towers & Co. is reportedly a brain child of Zouhair A Khaliq, ex CEO of Mobilink and current CEO of Oracap. Zouhair, back when he was heading Mobilink, had thought of such a company that will deploy towers and offer them to multiple companies for their network, further commented the source.
Idea has got matured now and expectedly Zouhair A Khaliq will be the CEO of Towers & Co.
It merits mentioning here that there was a company established in India with similar intentions. The idea behind such companies is that a third party infrastructure provider makes it easy and comprehendible to share towers between two or more operators, than the operators sharing their towers with competition.
With tightening economy, Zouhair’s vision depicted the exact picture and floated the idea which will be the demand of the industry in the coming days.

Wow great one. With Mobilink’s largest and Telenor’s second largest network combined, it will be great. Hope other operators also join in with them.
@Rehan
If you are talking about towers and sharing of towers, then Telenor is the largest and Mobilink is the second largest network.
Dear Asad,
You are mistaken, Mobilink has more numbers of towers than any operator in Pakistan.
Aamir Bhai, You mention that there was a company established in India with similar intentions but india has much more. Here are the details
Here is the list of 13 telecom tower companies India based on the number of towers :

No wounder, Warid started to share tower and infrastructre with Zong already and it rapdily growing. It is v ncie strategy that we getting site on air at v fast pace just in five days.
No doubt Mobilink is the largest network in Pakistan & Mobilink has more numbers of towers than any operator.
@Ali Amjad
I am not mistaken Ali. Mobilink doesn’t have more towers than Telenor. Telenor has the widest coverage in Pakistan. Sorry to say but it’s true.
Mobilink has 7000+ sites and Telenor around 5000
Yes, Mobilink has more than 8000+ sites in the different territory of Pakistan as well and it is biggest cellular company in Pakistan.
True. Mobilink is the largest cellular company with the largest network & the highest number of towers in Pakistan. Asad, i have friends in RF Planning department of both Mobilink & Telenor :).
cellular companies should also think of sharing other resources like optical fibres, francises, customer care centres, etc. furthermore, they should invest the savings earned through these steps for the development of latest telecom services and equipment/ infrastructure in pakistan.
Sorry to say but Mobilink fails in delivering services. All services work fine @ my place no signals as soon as i enter my home.
8000+ towers but 1 think one is missing lol.
well who told u to live with talibans in some cave LOL!!
If Mobilink claims ” poora signal, poora Pakistan” should it not be able to cover the caves of Taliban? *wink* *wink*
:D good one!!!
valid point… its not a true claim unless northern areas are covered fully, let the tribal areas be considered after that.!

Hi Everyone
Anyone knows about the site of Tower & Co or location of its office
TowerCo. Is not an established company yet. It is just in discussion phase a joint venture of Telenor an Mobilink. Mobilink bieng major shareholder shall dominate in decision making and hiring people.
There is deadlock on TowerCo formation and the discussion is over unconcluded.
