Vodafone, Bharti and Idea announce formation of Independent Tower Company in India
· |
|
New independent tower company - Indus Towers - to propel the mobile sector towards achievement of the Indian Governments teledensity goals and broader rural coverage |
|
|
|
· |
|
Indus Towers to provide passive infrastructure services to all operators on a non-discriminatory basis |
|
|
|
· |
|
Indus Towers will enable optimisation of future tower rollout and enhanced operational efficiency leading to opex and capex savings for its customers |
|
|
|
· |
|
The Indian consumer will benefit through improved network reach and quality, more choice and significantly greater access to mobile services across the country |
|
|
|
· |
|
This is a major step towards achieving the Indian Governments vision and TRAIs recommendations for passive infrastructure sharing and will create a lower cost and more competitive operating environment for mobile operators in India. |
Vodafone Essar - a subsidiary of Vodafone Group Plc, Bharti Infratel Limited and Idea Cellular Limited today announce that they have agreed to form an independent tower company, Indus Towers Limited, to provide passive infrastructure services in India to all operators on a non-discriminatory basis. This follows the infrastructure sharing Memorandum of Understanding signed between Bharti and Vodafone in February 2007.
The three companies will each merge their existing passive infrastructure assets in 16 circles in India. Vodafone Essar and Bharti will own approximately 42% each and Idea will own the remaining 16% stake in Indus Towers. New passive infrastructure rollout in the 16 circles will be undertaken by Indus Towers.
This transaction highlights Vodafone Essar, Bharti and Ideas commitment to enhancing the sharing of passive infrastructure and takes a firm step towards delivering on the Telecom Regulatory Authority of Indias (TRAI) recommendations on infrastructure sharing. The primary benefit will be the accelerated expansion of coverage, especially into rural areas, and enables wider access to affordable services for all, helping to meet the Indian Governments teledensity targets. Indus Towers welcomes all operators to become customers. While these operators will continue to run their active infrastructure completely independently, they will be able to enjoy capital and operating expenditure savings, enhanced operational efficiency and quicker expansion of coverage.
Indus Towers will be an independently managed and operated company, offering services to all telecom operators and other wireless services providers such as broadcasters and broadband services providers. Indus Towers will have approximately 70,000 sites at inception providing it with significant scale benefits, and will undertake a significant rollout of telecom infrastructure to propel the mobile sector towards achieving Indias teledensity and rural coverage goals within the next few years.
The formation of Indus Towers will enable telecom operators to reduce operating costs through economies of scale. The Indian consumer will be the ultimate beneficiary of this initiative through improved network quality and broader coverage especially in rural areas.

VODAFONE ESSAR AGREES TO IT OUTSOURCING DEAL WITH IBM IN INDIA
IBM to transform and manage Vodafone Essars IT infrastructure and applications
Vodafone Essar is to outsource all its IT operations to IBM India in a deal designed to boost efficiency and further enhance its service to customers.
The 5 year agreement aims to ensure scalable, flexible and resilient IT support for the fast-paced roll out of new network infrastructure, keeping pace with the rapid growth in Vodafone Essars customer base. At the same time, the agreement is expected to lead to the faster roll out of more varied services to customers, while delivering greater cost efficiencies to Vodafone Essar.
Under the deal, IBM India will assume responsibility for the management of all Vodafone Essars IT operations with the exception of network service platforms, spanning both hardware and software. The agreement will encompass the management of IT services including the development and maintenance of key applications such as billing and financial systems.
IBM India will also manage other internal IT services for Vodafone Essar such as data centre operations, desktop, laptop and IT help desk support while overseeing key areas such as security and change programmes. Vodafone Essar will continue to retain full strategic control of its IT requirements.
To ensure greater flexibility for Vodafone Essar, the deal has been constructed on a risk-sharing basis, under the control of stringent Service Level Agreements.
This agreement further demonstrates our continued focus on scalability and cost control, key criteria for success in the Indian mobile market. In IBM we have chosen a global partner, committed to the industry and with a proven track record in the region, said Asim Ghosh, Managing Director, Vodafone Essar. We are confident this will deliver cost efficiency as well as an enhanced service to our customers.
Vivek Gupta, Director and Country Manager, Communication Sector IBM India /South Asia said: India is home to the fastest growing telecom market in Asia, and with that comes significant challenges including effectively managing growth and improving profitability. IBM is delighted to share its extensive telecommunications industry insight and global IT outsourcing experience to help Vodafone Essar continue to deliver quality services to its rapidly growing customer base.
The deal builds on Vodafones existing agreement to outsource to IBM its application development and maintenance services in its operating companies in Spain, the Czech Republic, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Italy. That agreement was designed to improve the quality of software produced as well as deliver greater flexibility.
