MVNO Friendi Group has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Africa and Middle East operator Zain. Under the deal, Friendi will be allowed to operate an MVNO service in Jordan through Zain's existing network and provide offers and services to specific customer segments. Zain Jordan CEO Abdul Malek Jaber said the strategic agreement with Friendi Group is in line with Zain's overall strategy that is based on targeted and segmented acquisitions in light of the current market situation which has reached saturation with the number of subscriptions exceeding the number of inhabitants. Friendi Group will launch services in Jordan in Q2 2010, targeting the pre-paid consumer market.
