Algeria's ICT minister Imane-Houda Faraoun announced during a radio interview that the government has given the green light to a project for an international data centre, reports TSA. For this new initiative, Algerie Telecom is working to form a joint venture with an unnamed Hong Kong-based partner that already has a presence in 150 countries, said Faraoun, adding that the facility could be built near the group's existing satellite hub in Lakhdaria (Bouira).
