PLDT가 NTT와 협상 중이며 데이터 센터의 최대 49%를 판매하려고 합니다.

PLDT는 일본의 Nippon Telegraph and Telephone(NTT)와 데이터 센터 사업의 최대 49%를 매각하기 위한 논의를 진행 중입니다. 이 발표는 PLDT 회장 마누엘 판길리난이 지난 화요일 로이터와 인터뷰에서 전했습니다.

The deal could be valued at USD 750 million, said two anonymous people with direct knowledge of the matter. PLDT declined to comment on this, while NTT did not respond to requests for any comments either.

NTT has established itself as Japan’s largest phone company, having a market value of USD 99.9 billion.

One of the informants noted that PLDT will use the proceeds from the deal to cut debts. In addition, the company needs the funding for new and ongoing data center projects. A deal could be reached during the second half of this year.

PLDT is the Philippines’ largest telecommunication entity with businesses encompassing fixed line and wireless telephony. It currently owns and operates 11 data centers through its subsidiary ePLDT.

The company’s share price has climbed 5.6 per cent year-do-date, giving them a market value of USD 5.09 billion.

거래는 디지털 인구가 증가함에 따라 동남아시아 데이터 센터에 대한 관심이 커지고 있음을 강조할 것입니다. 두 회사는 이전에도 협력한 바 있습니다, NTT의 초고대역폭 연결(최대 100Gbps)으로 필리핀의 글로벌 네트워크 인프라를 강화합니다.

What do you guys think of PLDT being in talks with NTT?
