Zain Saudi inks interconnect deal with MoC Kuwait

The Saudi Arabian cellular operator Zain Saudi has signed an interconnect agreement with Kuwait’s Ministry of Communications (MoC), which besides being the national regulator is also the country’s dominant fixed line service provider as well as the international gateway owner and operator. With this agreement, Zain Saudi becomes one of the MoC’s international carrier partners. Zain says that significant international traffic is exchanged between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia every year and this accord will offer it a greater share of the international carrier business from Kuwait into and out of its neighbour.
