Indian Telecom Overview
150million subscribers
Growing at 5 million subscribers per month.
Industry will need 350,000 towers for 500 million subs by 2010 .
Therefore
GBTs are taller (typically 200 to 400 feet) and are mostly
used in rural and semi-urban areas because of the easy
availability of real-estate space there.
Network roaming.
Transmission ring:
Where an operator has spare capacity on its core ring
network, it may be feasible to share this with another
operator.
The situation may be particularly attractive to new
entrants who are lacking in time or resources (or
desire) to build their own ring.
Core network logical entity sharing
Core network logical entity sharing represents a much
deeper form of sharing infrastructure and refers to
permitting a partner operator access to certain or all
parts of the core network.
This could be implemented to varying levels depending
on which platforms operators wish to share.
A simple example may be sharing the equipment
identity register (EIR) function, which on its own may
be expensive but as a pooled resource between
operators becomes more attractive.
Network roaming
Network roaming can be considered a form of infrastructure
sharing although traffic from one operator’s subscriber is
actually being carried and routed on another operator’s
network. However, there are no requirements for any
common network elements for this type of sharing to
occur. As long as a roaming agreement between the two
operators exists then roaming can take place. For this
reason operators may not classify roaming as a form of
sharing as it does not require any shared investment in
infrastructure. When roaming agreements come to an end
they can be renegotiated either with the existing host
network or another operator with minimal effort and
transitional impact.
Benefits
Improves Quality of Service through better
coverage.

creation.
