Telenor Changing Business Strategy in Entire Asian Market, Including Pakistan: PTA Report

Telenor is changing its investment strategy not only in Pakistan but also in other Asian countries, according to a report by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

The telecom regulator has informed the government that telecom operators in Pakistan are facing problems due to the current economic crisis but Telenor is not changing its strategy only in Pakistan, it is following its business strategy in the entire Asian market.

According to a document available with ProPakistani, PTA has told the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication that Telenor is not only thinking of exiting or merging its business in the Pakistani market, but it is changing its strategy in the entire Asian market. The report says that Telenor’s strategy for the entire Asian market needs to be understood.

The report further says that Telenor exited the Indian market in 2018 and merged with Bharti Airtel. Recently, Telenor Group decided to exit the telecom market in Myanmar. Telenor also changed its investment strategy in Malaysia and Thailand and merged with other companies there.

According to the PTA report, the current economic crisis in Pakistan has also affected the telecom sector. PTA is well aware of the problems faced by telecom operators and is trying to solve these problems.

It states that telecom operators in Pakistan are focused on acquiring additional spectrum and introducing new services but Telenor missed out on spectrum acquisitions in 2014 and 2021, putting it in a difficult position compared to other operators.

According to the report, Telenor needs an additional spectrum to meet customers’ voice and data needs and is considering business models for providing high-speed voice and data services to consumers.

  • You may want to add that Telenor is changing its investment strategy not only in Pakistan but also in other Asian countries!

    • You mean that Telenor is changing its investment strategy not only in Pakistan but also in other Asian countries?

      • No No. Its not that Telenor is changing its investment strategy not only in Pakistan but also in other Asian countries. Actually Telenor is changing its investment strategy not only in Pakistan but also in other Asian countries.

  • Telenor badly needs additional spectrum cuz even a third class Telco like Ufone is giving better speeds just cuz they bid for a better 1800Mhz spectrum while Telenor opted for 850.
    I hate to see Ufone win cuz they are the most evil out of all 4 telcos. I wish Telenor doesn’t leave Pakistani Market cuz they are the best employer in Pakistan by far.

  • I am working in telenor since 2019 as a RSO I realize in this period Telenor management is not capable to solve customer service problem they just want to earn either wrongly or rightly no matter that’s why Telenor lost customer loyalty and trust and as well we lack with our pour services.

  • Telenor down fall is lack of management interest in business, more focus on gender diversity, and not putting right ppl at right place. Safarish system, favouritism is on peak. Loyal ppls are leaving. Chabloos ppl are getting on boarded.

  • Telenor is going to close its businesses in Pakistan soon. There is a telenor’s mobile tower in my town. It was operational and functional but now they permanently closed it. Now there are no service in the whole area including nearby several towns and main rawalpindi highway. In the past we bought telenor devices for internet but all are useless now due to closure of tower sight since long.

  • Telenor aik fraud bass company ha, kindly Pakistan se is ko kick off kro, voice call aur Internet sab very poor signal quality ha, awam k paise lootney k in k pass 100 tariqey han, agar ab b ye Pakistan ma kaam krti ha to it means k Pak Govt b iss fraud ma shamil ha, very sad.

  • I think leaving the Pakistan is not the solution of their problem.They have to change their business strategy but not to exit from Pakistan.I think this company will be bright and come on the top companies of the world and will get good profit in future if he tries and works hard and don’t leave their spirit and strength.I think they need to unite.they will definitely grow their business in Pakistan.👈💯👍🙂
