The Path To National Telecom

"The merger of TOT and CAT into a new company, called National Telecom (NT), is believed to be the government’s final push to provide a lifeline to the two state telecom enterprises. Over the past two years, the government has tried to set up a new subsidiary to operate under each of the two telecoms, but the plan failed to get off the ground.The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry deems a merger the best solution because of strong support from low-ranking employees, especially labour union members, at the two enterprises.The merger is to be completed by July after the cabinet approved the proposal in January.

The marriage could face unavoidable challenges, including friction among managers about their roles in the merged company, according to observers."
