OSLO: Telenor and Alphabet Inc's Google Cloud have formed a partnership to digitalise the Norwegian telecom company's global operations and are exploring ways to jointly offer services to customers, the two companies said on Monday.

The firms will not only use Google Cloud's services to boost Telenor's own IT and network, but also collaborate to provide Telenor's customers with digital tools, their respective chief executives told Reuters.
