Summary

“Latin America: Regulatory Mandates and LTE Driving Infrastructure Sharing and Tower Offloading Deals,” a Telecom Insider Report by Pyramid Research, briefly describes the different types of mobile infrastructure sharing, and analyzes the operational motivations and the economic value these agreements deliver.
