    What happened: MTN Group and Airtel Africa to share networks in Uganda and Nigeria

    Why it’s important

    By sharing infrastructure, MTN and Airtel can deliver more reliable and affordable mobile services to millions of customers, particularly in rural and underserved areas where building individual networks can be costly and inefficient. This collaboration allows both operators to reduce capital and operational expenses while expanding coverage and improving service quality.

    It also reflects a broader industry shift across Africa, where telecom providers are increasingly working together to maximise infrastructure use, reduce duplication, and accelerate digital inclusion. As connectivity becomes essential for education, business, and social development, such partnerships play a key role in bridging the digital divide and enabling broader access to mobile and internet services.
