TE, Etisalat Misr sign domestic roaming agreement

Telecom Egypt (TE) will sign a five-year domestic roaming agreement with Etisalat Misr in two weeks’ time, under which it will provide 2G and 3G services using Etisalat’s infrastructure, Reuters reports. Etisalat offered TE, which will introduce its mobile service to the market in September, a better price for the service than did Orange Egypt — which signed an agreement with TE last month — according to TE’s CEO Ahmed El Beheiry. Vodafone Egypt had also said last week that it was negotiating a domestic roaming agreement with TE.
