Poe says PH needs more telecom towers 175 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranThe Philippines needs as many telecommunication towers that it could have, but these should be compliant with safety and environmental standards. ‘’Restriction could limit the number of towers that may be built during the period, which would be counterproductive to the government’s aim of improving telecommunications infrastructure in the country,’’ Poe said. ‘’To limit it to two tower companies could also infringe on the right of the telcos (telecommunication companies) with congressional franchises to build their own infrastructure,’’ she added. TowerXchange, an independent community for global tower industry, showed that Asian markets with the highest number of cellular towers in the region implement a common tower policy that allows for more than two tower companies.
