- kristofferR 9y agoFor cell coverage in the Oslo subways the carriers simply cooperated and payed their share of the cost (based on market share). That seems like a much simpler solution than creating a new monopolistic and rent-seeking company.
- gaadd33 9y agoIn 5 years when the market share has changed are the carriers okay with subsidizing someone else's access while they haven't recouped their sunk costs? If I start a new cell company in Oslo do I automatically get access for free since I have 0 market share? For NYC, in theory it would have been better if the infrastructure was provided by the MTA and access to it was rented out to each carrier based on usage.
