Comment from Francesco Radicati, Research Analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media on news that Vodafone Ireland and Three Ireland have announced a strategic partnership to share network infrastructure.
"Network sharing agreements are becoming more common, as the cost of carrying mobile traffic increases and MNOs have to fight harder for profit. Three in particular has been very active in making these deals, for example in the UK, where it has a network sharing agreement with Everything Everywhere. We expect this trend to accelerate, as operators seek to cut costs by reducing infrastructure and capex where possible.
