"Customers are at the heart of everything we do… This collaboration will help us strengthen our network coverage and improve the quality of services we deliver every day," said Yasir Azman.

Calling it a "significant industry milestone", Sunil Isaac said the tower-sharing model optimises national telecom resources, lowers the cost of expansion and improves Quality of Service, supporting Bangladesh's digital transformation goals.
The partnership underscores a shared commitment to a digitally inclusive Bangladesh, extending reliable connectivity and digital services to more people.
