Sharing infrastructure is not new. Perhaps its only getting ephasised now. All the telecoms operators know about it. It appears in their licences so they new it for more than 10 years since Potraz was formed and gave them those licenses. The whole idea of sharing infrastructure form a nationalistic point of view (Which Potraz operates from) is to ensure that national resources are not wasted by duplicating facilities that could easily be shared. If one Telecom operator has already got a base station in one area there is no need for the 2nd operator to erect another one near by, rather the 2nd operator gets into a commercial agreement (pays rent) with the 1st Operator and then the 2nd operator uses those resources to build a base station in another location where there is no base station. Who knows perhaps the 1st operator will come and rent from the 2nd operators new base station. All Potraz has to ensure is that nobody charges inhibitive rentals
