Governments, regulators and MNOs in the Middle East are starting to think carefully about how best to use and deploy their wireless communications infrastructure, and nowhere more so than in Bahrain, where the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has published an extensive new report which assesses both the quality and quantity of towers needed in Bahrain.
