RCom shows interest in Zain’s African operations (India)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: As reported yesterday, Zain is in talks with three foreign telcos for Celtel sale which includes an Indian telco, which is Reliance Communications (RCom). The sales will not include the Moroccan and Sudanese operations.
RCom shows interest in Zain’s African operations as its Indian rival Bharti Airtel is in talks with MTN South Africa for a possible merger.
The African operations are being seen as lucrative for the telcos due to its low penetration and reasonably well ARPUs.
