Vodafone and Telefonica Share Cost Savings

Vodafone and Telefonica expect to save hundreds of millions of pounds over the next 10 years by sharing some network elements in Germany, the UK, Spain, Ireland and potentially the Czech Republic.

The two companies said they will share masts, antennas, sites, cabinets and power supply in the UK and Ireland, while in Germany and Spain they will share masts, cabinets and power supply. The network electronics Nodes B (3G), BTS (2G) and the radio network controllers which are linked to the core network are to remain independent. source: Vodafone/Telefonica statement
