Barring a last minute switch in plans, Malaysia could soon see the birth of a new telco behemoth. Various news outlets have stated that a merger between Celcom and Digi – two of the nation's biggest telecommunications service providers – will soon take place.
This merger follows strong rumours that revealed ongoing discussions between parent companies Axiata Group and Telenor Asia to combine their subsidiaries into a single entity, with talks already at an "advanced stage".
Celcom's parent company Axiata Group Berhad, which now serves multiple emerging markets in Asia, was previously a company under the purview of Telekom Malaysia – the country's largest provider of broadband services as well as other fixed-line network products.
