Blackstone-backed Phoenix Tower International, a telecommunications company that owns and operates wireless infrastructure sites, agreed to acquire 3.8k telecommunications towers in Chile from Novator-backed WOM, a mobile telephony and broadband company, for $930m. "This deal enables WOM to strengthen our focus to provide affordable, easy–to-access, world-class connectivity to all Chileans and will allow us to fulfill our promise to deliver the best service at fair prices.
