Mobile operators Three UK<\/a> and EE<\/a> (BT<\/a>) have agreed to stop jointly upgrading sites through the Mobile Broadband Network Limited<\/a> (MBNL) organisation, which runs their joint network sharing venture. The move is intended to help both move faster when deploying new ultrafast 5G<\/a> based mobile broadband networks.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest benefits of network sharing agreements like MBNL is that they help to cut costs through greater efficiency of infrastructure management and upgrades. But this isn’t always the case and having to design, as well as build, for both networks can, in some circumstances, actually increase costs and slow deployments. As network designs and approaches diverge with 5G<\/a>, then this can grow to become a bigger obstacle.<\/p>\n

As Three UK<\/a>’s Technical Services Director, Patrick Binchy<\/strong>, told Mobile World Live<\/a>, the operator will now be able to “do things faster<\/em>” without having to get EE<\/a> to “agree and accept what we\u2019re doing, when we do it and how we do it<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

BT<\/a>’s Chief Networks Officer, Greg McCall<\/strong>, has also welcomed the move and highlighted how their “deployment strategies have been different from each other<\/em>” and they will now have “more autonomy and flexibility to roll out our infrastructure where we and our customers need it<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

As a result of all this, both operators will this month start performing all upgrades independently of each other. But MBNL will continue to maintain sites for both operators (focusing on the passive infrastructure and joint sites) and become more of an estate company, which is expected to continue for the long-term.<\/p>\n

At the same time, it’s worth noting that Three UK<\/a> and Vodafone<\/a> are reportedly getting close to signing off on a \u00a315bn merger agreement (here<\/a>). One of several potential points of contention with this could be that they both have network sharing agreements with different rivals, although the latest change to MBNL might make that just a little bit easier to resolve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
