Tata Communications reportedly plans to expand the footprint of its South African arm, Neotel, to other African markets, say news reports. The company aims to deliver a gamut of enterprise data services.
It is believed that the company may either bag licences in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique or extend its existing fibre optic network into these markets.
The Tata Group holds 69.5 per cent stake in Neotel through Tata Communications and Tata Africa Holdings, while the remaining is held by local partners Nexus Communications and Communitel.
