In 2009, Huawei Marine Networks delivered the HANNIBAL submarine communications cable system for Tunisie Telecom across the Mediterranean Sea to Italy.[4]: 310
Tunisie Telecom became a European telecoms operator with its 60% share purchase of the Maltese telecommunications company GO from the Emirati EIT for €200 million in June 2016.[5]
In December 2021, the Malagasy group Axian, led by Hassanein Hiridjee, made the highest bid among potential buyers for Mauritanian telecom operator Mattel, a subsidiary of Tunisie Telecom. His proposal would be around 100 million euros (DTH 326,106,511.50).[6]
