Vodafone has announced its second Partner Network Agreement with Kuwait’s Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC). This latest agreement extends Vodafone's existing relationship with MTC into the Bahraini market, following the launch of MTC-Vodafone Bahrain on December 28.
The first Partner Network Agreement with MTC was signed in September 2002. In April, MTC was chosen by Bahrain's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to develop the country's second GSM service. As with MTC in Kuwait, the Bahraini subsidiary will operate under the brand MTC-Vodafone.
MTC-Vodafone Bahrain will start to introduce Vodafone's international services in 2004, providing Vodafone and its partners' customers seamless access to Vodafone's international mobile services while traveling in Bahrain. In turn, MTC-Vodafone Bahrain's customers will be connected to Vodafone's roaming services across its global footprint.
Vodafone's portfolio of global services, supported by its global brand, will be available in 11 Partner Network countries including Austria, Bahrain, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland and Kuwait. — (menareport.com)
