It is not because it is challenging that it is not feasible ... :-) why not do it when it is feasible ??? http://www.mobilemastinfo.com/information/fact_sheets/site_sharing.htm
interference does not seem to be an argument as we are seeing new mast just some few meters from old ones ... I would be curious to know the value of RF around those "mast parkings"... There must be something like : "ok you want to put a new mast there ? but MTCELUTRID has already one there. Let's see how feasible it is for you to use it " 2008/3/6, Mike Barnard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 3:35 PM, Reinier Battenberg < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > They could also have make mast-sharing mandatory (in a smart way) that > > would > > have saved millions of USD, and have the same result. > > > > This mast sharing thing looks easy to talk about, but try think of how to > implement it.
