MTC is listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange and has achieved a sound reputation for high level of business successes, often exceeding investor's expectations.

The MTC Group now operates in five countries.   In Kuwait and Bahrain the company is known as MTC-Vodafone and in Jordan as Fastlink.  2004 has seen significant developments in the company´s desire to become an internationally recognized regional company with the launch of the Atheer service in Iraq and the decision by the Government of Lebanon to handover the management of LibanCell, known today as MTC Touch.

In March 2005 MTC signed a binding agreement with the intention to purchase Celtel which has 13 operations in Sub Saharan Africa with over 5.2 million customers. This is in line with MTC´s 3x3x3 strategy, which entails becoming a global operator by 2011.
