Operators are seeking to make substantial savings in costs as
the market for new customers has become saturated, but parts of the
networks have insufficient capacity to cope with demand. The
easiest point of pressure to effect savings are the rents paid to
individual landlords and property owners (particularly those
unrepresented). Deals between operators to share infrastructure
(termed Radio Access Network (or RAN) sharing) have been announced
and operators are seeking substantial rent reductions with threats
to decommission sites.
These are tough times, but at Strutt & Parker we have
considerable experience in this specialist market and are committed
to working with our clients to overcome the challenges and
capitalise on the opportunities in the months ahead.
