Green Telecom Equipment to Represent 46% of Network CAPEX by 2013
Energy consumption is one of the leading drivers of operating expenses for both fixed and mobile telecom network operators. Reliable access to electricity is limited in many developing countries that are currently the high-growth markets for telecommunications. At the same time, many operators have adopted corporate social responsibility initiatives with a goal of reducing their networks' carbon footprints, and network infrastructure vendors are striving to gain competitive advantage by reducing the power requirements of their equipment. more

Former Cold-War Microwave Towers Reused for Possible Wind Turbine Sites
A wind farm firm has inked a deal to put test kit on nearly 1,200 radio towers to monitor the average wind speed and see if the area would be suitable for installing electricity wind turbines. The towers are owned by American Tower and were originally built by AT&T for cold-war defence purposes. All of the sites have permitted access roads and power links to the electrical distribution grid thus addressing a cost and permitting impediment to many wind power projects. more
