Pakistan’s long-awaited Ufone-Telenor merger has entered its final stage, with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) informing a Senate committee that the integration is expected to conclude in the coming days, paving the way for the formation of a new telecom company. Responding to the concerns, PTA Chairman Major General (R) Hafeez Ur Rehman said Ufone is a government-owned company and expressed confidence that the service issues would be resolved once the Ufone-Telenor merger is completed. He further stated that the completion of the merger will lead to the establishment of a new telecommunications company, marking one of the most significant changes in Pakistan’s telecom industry in recent years. The Senate committee emphasized the importance of ensuring uninterrupted telecom services throughout the transition and called for continued efforts to improve the quality of mobile connectivity for consumers. Once finalized, the Ufone-Telenor merger is expected to become one of the largest consolidations in Pakistan’s telecommunications sector, potentially creating a stronger operator with expanded network capabilities and a broader customer base.
