As the proposed 2020 5G rollout date draws closer, tower companies must balance capex deployment between organic growth, new acquisitions and investing in infrastructure for a future which may look very different to the architecture of today.
In this interview, Tobias Martinez, CEO of Europe’s biggest towerco Cellnex Telecom and a keynote speaker at Meetup Europe 2018, shares his ambitions for Cellnex in terms of both organic and inorganic growth, and explains how the towerco is preparing for a shift away from macro infrastructure.
