Following the release of Booz & Company’s “Sharing Mobile Networks, Why the Pros Outweigh the Cons” viewpoint, TowerXchange spoke two of the report’s authors. Roman Friedrich is a partner with Booz & Company who leads the firm’s global communications, media, and technology practice. Steven Pattheeuws is a senior executive advisor who specializes in network and technology transformation, with a specific focus on active and passive network sharing. Booz & Company are one of the leading strategic consulting firms in the world.
TowerXchange: I enjoyed reading the “Sharing Mobile Networks” viewpoint – please could you tell us about some of the strategic objections to network sharing highlighted in the report, how they apply in Africa, and how they can be overcome.
