    SINGTEL looks set to take advantage of the growing demand for data centre capacity in South-east Asia as it leverages its local experience in the field to grow its data-centre platform abroad.

    On Friday, the telco announced a conditional agreement to sell a 70 per cent stake in Australia Tower Network (ATN), which operates telecommunications towers for Singtel's Australian telco subsidiary Optus, for A$1.9 billion (S$1.88 billion) in cash.
