Maher also said there was a need for greater infrastructure sharing with Qtel.
“Tower sharing reduces cost of operations meaning better services and better value for all our customers. Moreover, it becomes environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing to the Qatari landscape,” he told the paper.
