1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Tower Infrastructure sharing concept has been widely accepted all over the world since
late 90s. In Nepal, it is still common to find separate infrastructure for different operators,
also different operators digging up roads in cities and alongside highways to lay fibers for
optical communication links. Imagine if these infrastructure could be shared among these
operators, then they could focus for quality services, customer and employee satisfaction
which would lead to huge area coverage, subscription and economic growth.
Lack of infrastructure sharing is the key reason to dispersion of services, high tariff for
voice calls, messages and 3g/4g internet services. In hilly and mountain regions we can
see towers of different telecom operators lined in a path to reach same remote area which
pollutes environment as well. But still operators competes among each other and invest
hugely in replicating each other’s infrastructure.
From recent telecom data received there more than 6000 telecom sites all over the
Nepal to cover over all accessible terrain. The total number of customers are
increasing exponentially and has reached around 25 million.
Building such infrastructure like erecting tower, shelter, backhaul connectivity with
nearest network is about 60% of the total cost of single site.
The number of subscribers are increasing day by day but operators are not able to provide
proper quality service, customer’s satisfaction, cheaper service. Due to high initial cost
new operators are not able to enter Nepal’s telecom market and old operators are playing
monopoly game.
But NTA has mandate passive infrastructure sharing due to which new operators has
received chances to introduce themselves and compete with old operators. Also old
operators can now focus on quality and cheaper service and customer’s satisfaction.
The study will be carried out with the following methodological approach:
