Malaysian cellcos Celcom Axiata and DiGi have signed a network sharing agreement in the hope of saving about MR2bn (US$653m) over ten years.
“This is subject to further validation upon completion of the initial phase,” Celcom said in a statement.
“Both parties, however, expect to see incremental savings as early as 2012 and gradually ramping up to an average annual savings of MR150-MR250m (US$49m-US$81.6m) combined after 2015.”
The companies will first focus on the sharing of telecom sites, access transmission, aggregation transmission and trunk fibre transmission. They are looking to consolidate and upgrade 4000 sites and fibre transmission network in subsequent phases for a full implementation by 2015.
This announcement follows an infrastructure sharing MoU signed by the two companies in June 2010.
