The HB Group, which purchased Wi-Tribe from Qatar’s national telecom company Ooredoo, has confirmed that it has signed a partnership agreement with China’s leading Telecom company, Huawei, to deliver Pakistan’s fastest home broadband service.
The partnership is part of $50M investment programme embarked on by the HB Group to upgrade and modernize broadband services in Pakistan following its acquisition of Wi-Tribe in March last year.
