Figure-7: Co-location of equipment by Service Providers
The policy shall not allow building of infrastructure such as separate towers by each operator in a given
area where an existing tower can co-host other operators. Infrastructure sharing can lower operational
costs and as well consumer costs. LTA shall formulate regulation to save Monrovia and other such
communities from becoming “tower communities.”
3.9
Rights-of-Way
The policy supports the use of public land and facilities to install telecommunications networks for
services to the general public. The LTA shall develop procedures for operators to lease public property
for the provision of telecommunications services. The LTA shall also assist operators, where necessary,
to negotiate with appropriate government agencies or private owners for lease agreements on properties
and rights of way.
3.10
Dispute Resolution
The policy supports the resolution of disputes as stipulated in the Telecommunications ACT of 2007 and
any other administrative and/or constitutional laws of the Republic of Liberia.
