No Airtel proposal yet for tower sale: BTRC

Bangladesh’s telecom regulator BTRC says it is yet to receive any application from private mobile operator Airtel which is reportedly planning to sell off its tower network in the country to boost its cash reserves. The ‘Times of India’ in a report claimed Bharti Airtel had put the company's tower assets in Bangladesh on its divestiture list as the world's fourth largest mobile telephony firm was seeking to raise more than $2 billion by selling its infra networks. Sunil Kanti Bose, Chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulator Commission (BTRC), told bdnews24.com: “We have not received any such proposal or application from Airtel. I have come to know of the matter from the media.”
