A sure sign of maturity in the telecom sector is the rush to outsource tower management and ownership to third parties as a means of diversifying revenue and focusing on core activities.
The major prospect will be, the network operator being able to focus on what they do best, thus customer services and leaving the management of core infrastructure to the experts.
Framework sharing will diminish the burden of single framework possession and secure the spread of media transmission administrations rural communities.
Evidence from researchers, looking into Tower Company Landscape Changes in Africa and the Middle East, by accounting firm KPMG found that the costs of sharing an arrange framework were being cut as administrators acknowledged that can share a few fundamental infrastructures.
KPMG said that infrastructure sharing is promoted by the emergence of tower companies has cut costs of infrastructure investment by single network operators by as much as 16% to 20%, and the accumulated savings on both CAPEX and OPEX run into billions of dollars
Common towers will also enable them to service the wider population, as well as deepen and enhance wireless network coverage and quality of ICT (information and communications technology) that will contribute to a solid, competitive ICT environment that will benefit the Filipino people.
DICT said the country needs at least another 50,000 towers to improve mobile connectivity and to reach unserved or underserved areas.
Together with other government agencies, the DICT also moved to slash the permitting process that used to take 200 days to only about two weeks.
