Haven't read it yet but my first thought was what it would be like for the WTS to control your internet connection. Scary.
Why do they want or think they need to own a telecoms company?

Well they puff there little chests out with pride and say " Oh thanks I Am so powerful"

Interesting. It's a company that was only registered in 2011 and held stock of "no market value."
They were wanting to transfer all the stock owned by the CEO, Prof. Haniph A. Latchman, to them.
There is already a JWN thread on Bro. Latchman - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/222547/1/You-can-be-a-Professor-at-a-University-but-no-higher-Ed-for-Jdubs-WTH

What does God need with a telecom company?

"Get your jw.cult internet package today. No more worries about exposure to the truth nor about doubting your master, the evil slave. With jw.cult internet, all honest and potentially truth revealing websites are blocked so you can get your unspiritual cult food just how the evil slave intends it! (Matt 24:40). As an added benefit, in addition to costing more, the evil slave will monitor your activity and notify your local elders if they see anything concerning. Are we not thankful for the worshipful evil slave and all that they provide?"

Why do they want or think they need to own a telecoms company?
It's a recently set up telecoms company of no stock value owned by a prominent 'brother' that the WTS can use to cheaply install a high capacity dark-fiber communications system in its shiny, new compounds. Seeing as Latchman was the sole shareholder, if anything happened to him, the company may have ended up in disarray or collapsing which would jeopardize the installation and running of the service (see p. 5 of the Petition). So the WTS wanted to buy him out and take over the company to ensure future stability. That's what I take from it, anyway.

Edit: You probably have it spot on, AnnOMaly
If it's this company it says they specialise in dark fibre (yes, where do I begin with the jokes), which means basically means stuff not connected to the internet, or at the very most run through secure tunnel VPN's.
Most likely I would say is that it's for construction purposes and communications inside or between branch offices. A little strange that they would go so far as purchasing a whole company, but I can see how it could be justified.
However, it is a very definite signal of moving towards even more I.T. based projects in the future - fibre is very expensive, and you would only need your own fibre company if you were transferring massive amounts of information very frequently (i.e. video productions and streaming). The fact that it's dark fibre means it's secure communications within that network, at least.
Thinking about it, my suspicion would be that this means we will be seeing much more video and streaming from the JWs in the future.
