Their decreasing revenues make them seek for cost reduction. Resource sharing might be a way towards this direction. Depending on the adopted sharing arrangement, different levels of sharing can be achieved. On the other hand, based on the resource based view, resource sharing can lead to the loss of a source of sustained competitive advantage for the network operator i.e. infrastructure. In this study (part of the SAPHYRE project), the notion of infrastructure sharing is made clear and the most important drivers, barriers and trade-offs considered by the network operators before deciding to share infrastructure are investigated. By doing so, the most important considerations that affect the final choices of the network operators regarding infrastructure sharing are made explicit.
