Mr Clifton-Brown: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many new masts she estimates will be required to fulfil
the telecommunications obligation under the 3G licences by 2007; and how many of them she estimates will be shared. [119602]
Mr. Timms: It is not possible to give a reliable estimate of the number of new masts that will be needed to fulfil the obligations
of the 3G licensees, nor the number that will be shared. The total number of masts will be affected by the level of demand for 3G
services, by commercial decisions related to the design of the networks and by the requirements of planning authorities. The four
operators with existing GSM networks will also be able to reduce the number of sites required by co-locating the 3G and GSM
antennae. Two of the operators, T-Mobile and MMO2 have entered into an agreement to share parts of their networks and this will
significantly reduce the numbers of masts required. All operators are required to consider the sharing of masts and this has a
significant effect in reducing the total number required.
