According to Aamir Ata, Ufone and Telenor rumoured to be in an early stage of merger talks. And Zong is not interested to acquire Ufone due to some reasons.
In my opinion, Telenor-Ufone merger will not help either of the company. Reason? Both companies are facing decline in Voice revenue and very slow growth in Data revenue, since data revenue is future of Telecom business, merged company will still face data revenue issue.
On the other hand, if Zong and Ufone get a merger, it will help both the companies. Zong has very strong growth in data revenue and Ufone has somewhat stable voice revenue (Super Card wali awaam). Moreover Zong has deep pockets to invest after merger, which Telenor doesn't due to its struggling overall International Business. They have sold India business and finding a buyer in Malysia as well. Pakistan business is also reporting negative growth since past two quarters.
