Etisalat Misr, Telecom Egypt sign LoI on mobile interconnection rates, amended national roaming agreement

Etisalat Misr and Telecom Egypt have signed an amended national roaming agreement and a letter of intent on mobile interconnection rates between the two operators, according to a joint statement released yesterday (pdf). The LoI would be TE’s first mobile interconnection agreement since announcing the launch of its mobile network, WE. The amended roaming agreement, which expires in December 2022, “provides better financial and service quality terms” for the state-owned landline monopoly. TE had signed an agreement with Etisalat last June to use the latter’s infrastructure to offer 2G, 3G, and 4G services.
