Tunisia to end fixed-line monopoly

Tunisia will launch an international tender for a fixed line telecoms licence, part of a drive to boost inward investment and quicken economic growth. ‘The project of a second fixed-line phone concession will be accelerated, to be finalised as soon as possible. ‘A team charged with this project in the telecoms ministry is preparing an international tender … to select a second fixed-line phone operator,’ it added, without giving further details.

State-controlled Tunisie Telecom currently has a monopoly on the provision of fixed-line services. Dubai’s Tecom bought a 35% stake in the company in March 2006, paying TND3.05 billion (USD2.27 billion) for the holding, beating Vivendi’s rival offer of TND2.76 billion.
