Europe's cellulars to share infrastructure? Evolving 3G technology will provide for much more networking, but support costs threaten to bankrupt providers

Article Abstract:

European mobile operators, most of whom paid huge amounts of money to acquire licenses at auctions, are beset with debts and doubts as they contemplate the need to build third-generation (3G) networks. To ease the burden, in Jun 2001, the German telecommunications regulator, Regulierungsbehorde fur Telekommunication und Post (RegTP) announced that it will permit operators to share facilities such as base stations and antenna towers. A spokesman says the move to allow sharing of infrastructure does not imply 'backtracking on network competition.'
