Lack of tower sharing deteriorates quality of mobile services

Business Eye Report

Mobile network operators in the country are increasing the number of network towers every year with a view to providing their customers with better services, but unplanned tower constructions coupled with operators' unwillingness to share each-other's infrastructures are not letting the quality of services improve, said stakeholders at a roundtable yesterday.
Tower sharing would improve the quality of services and would also help to save huge amounts of electricity and foreign currencies, they observed.
They told these in a discussion meeting held at Tafjjal Hossain Manik Mia Hall of National Press Club yesterday. Bangladesh Mobile Phone Consumer Association President Mohiuddin Ahmed presided over the discussion meeting while Deputy Manager of Teletalk Bangladesh SM Masum, Deputy Manager of Kirtankhola Towers Limited Ehtesham Khan, Chief Executive of Frontier Technology Limited Tajreen Alam, Abdul Baten Khan, Summit Towers Limited Senior Manager and Regulatory Affairs Adnan Shahriar, Grameenphone Senior Director Corporate Affairs Hossain Sadat, Robir Corporate Affairs Officer Shahed Alam, former Competition Commission Director Khaled Abu Nasser spoke.
