66 Q&A: Ex‑Strategy boss on Vodafone, outsourcing, and Africa
66 Can you give us a brief summary of how and why you came to set up Eaton Towers, having left Vodafone?
66 Where are you up to, in terms of the business plan?
67 What’s driving that — the economic situation?
67 How will the Vodafone Ghana deal work?
69 Why has the deal come about now — following the infrastructure improvement programme Vodafone has been conducting since the Ghana Telecom buy, rather than before?
69 There have been reports recently that the Ghanaian government is looking to clamp down on tower rollout locally (Vodafonewatch, 2010.02). Do you see this as a driver for sharing, or is it just bluster?
69 In what state are the towers you have taken over? When exactly will they be ready for sharing?
70 What are you doing on renewables, and other new power sources?
70 What guarantees have you had to provide on health and safety — which seems to have been a real concern for Vodafone as it has pushed into emerging markets?
70 What impact do you expect Bharti Airtel to have in Africa, including on demand for tower sharing, considering their existing tower operations in India?
71 India — Vodafone Essar
71 Equally, your Vodafone Ghana deal would appear to suggest that Indus is not going to come into Africa any time soon.
71 You are active in Tanzania. Can we expect an imminent deal with Vodacom Tanzania?
