RCOM sells tower business to G

MUMBAI: The country's second-largest wireless carrier, Reliance Communications (RCOM), on Sunday hived off its tower business to GTL Infrastructure for Rs 50,000 crore ($11 billion) to create the world's largest telecom infrastructure company not controlled by a telecom operator.

The boards of the Anil Ambani-promoted RCOM and its subsidiary, Reliance Infratel (Rel Infratel), and GTL Infrastructure (GTL Infra), a company promoted by Manoj Tirodkar, have approved the transaction. The deal will be implemented through a demerger of Rel Infratel's tower assets into GTL Infra. Along with the substantial unlocking of value, the deal will help RCOM reduce the debt on its books and invest in network upgrades. Replica Hublot Watches

RCOM, the flagship company of the Reliance ADA group, has a net debt of Rs 33,000 crore. Selling off the tower assets has ensured that RCOM's net debt gets reduced by Rs 18,000 crore, leaving a debt of Rs 15,000 crore in its kitty.

The deal comes a month after the non-compete agreement between the two Ambani brothers - Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani - was scrapped. The last time RCOM wanted to buy out South Africa's MTN, the elder brother had derailed the deal by invoking the right of first refusal in RCOM.

As part of the GTL deal, over 2 million shareholders of RCOM and the minority shareholders of Rel Infratel are set to receive free listed shares of the merged entity. "The swap ratio is expected to be in the range of 2-3 shares of GTL Infra for every one share of RCOM, and will depend on the quantum of debt that is reduced in Rel Infratel," sources told TOI. A detailed picture would be available within the next three weeks, the sources added.

The RCOM-GTL deal does not include the optic fibre network of over 200,000 km and related assets owned by Rel Infratel, which is to remain under RCOMs ownership.

Though the exact financial details of the deal are not immediately available, it is learnt that the deal is not based on the exact number of towers that RCOM owns but the tenants on those towers. The current and future tenants of RCOM's towers are said to have enabled a deal size of Rs 48 lakh per tower.

With the 50,000 towers owned by RCOM, the deal pitches GTL Infra into the No. 2 slot in India with a combined total 80,000 towers, behind Indus Towers' 1 lakh telecom towers. As against GTL, which is an independent and neutral firm, Indus is a consortium owned by leading telecom companies, including Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Group and Idea Cellular. The owners of Indus have pooled their assets to form the firm. GTL, on the other hand, continues to remain independent and neutral.

Upon closing, the merged entity will have over 80,000 towers and over 1,25,000 tenancies from over 10 telecom operators. The interests of RCOM as the largest tenant of the sexy lingerie merged entity have been adequately protected through appropriate contractual arrangements, sources said.

Sources said RCOM decided to ink the deal with GTL because of "the benefits of scale that would be immediately available, as well as enjoying the future benefits when more tenants get added onto the towers".

The fact that GTL is an independent tower company also helped swing the deal in its favour. Globally, Crown Castle and American Tower Corporation are among the few telecom firms that are not controlled by telecom operators. For mobile companies, using independent tower networks is a major thrust area.

READERS RESPOND

Several readers chimed in with comments after we posted a story about the Office of the State Auditor placing the Taos Municipal School District under special monitoring following the release of an audit showing weaknesses in the district's internal financial controls. The following are comments from readers. In no way do they represent the view of The Taos News.

"Appears a lot of questionable accounting practices happened from 2003 to 2006 and not so Replica Ebel Watches much after 2007," "Tabanus"wrote June 12. "From 2003 to 2006 big time contracts were awarded without bids, oversight of contracts was lax, equipment was unaccounted for, improper selling of district property happened, erroneous bookkeeping entries sexy lingerie were made, etc. Clearly the business manager and superintendent during that time were not competent and crimes may have been committed. We ought to find out the facts and those responsible should be held accountable.

"So this is what the School Board was doing," "rdt-60" wrote June 13. "Trying to hold people accountable, with the resistance of the administration office personnel. It all falls together. Where are all the comments from those supporting the school board?"

"Apparently the concerted local media campaign against the school board does not concern itself with inconvenient facts," "Jihm" wrote June 14.

"It is interesting that some of the initial Moss Adams allegations, not listed in this article, indicated that lavish retreats with lobster dinners were also happening, when there was absolutely no proof of such, and certifiable evidence to the contrary," "activeparent" wrote June 16. "Yes, it is very troubling, but the audit also holds the school board responsible."

Nature 'fighting back' against

The harlequin ladybirds from Asia, which were introduced in continental Europe to control pest insects on crops and have since spread to the UK on fruit and flowers and by being blown across the Channel, have become a common sight in the past decade.

Scientists have warned their arrival in the UK is likely to threaten more than 1,000 native species.

The bug is a "voracious" predator, which preys on a wide variety of insects, including the larvae of other ladybirds, caterpillars and even fruit, and out-competes native species.

But now it appears nature is fighting back, with tiny native wasps and flies which commonly lay their eggs in native ladybirds - causing death to the host - now attacking the harlequins.

Scientists investigating the spread of the harlequins are trying to find out whether the parasites are attacking the invasive species at the Sexy Costumes same rate they target native ladybirds.

Researchers from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) and University of Cambridge are Replica A Lange & Sohne Watches asking members of the public to get involved and "witness evolution in action", by helping record examples of parasites attacking the alien species.

People joining the ladybird parasite survey need to track down some ladybird pupae, usually found fixed to the leaves of broad-leaf trees, conifers and low-growing plants, and take home samples in containers with a clear lid - such as cling film over a yoghurt pot.

They then need to check the pupae every day and see whether an adult ladybird emerges within one to two weeks.

If it has been attacked by a parasite, that will emerge instead.

People can record their results, including photographs, on the BBC Breathing Places Ladybird Parasite Survey website.

The CEH is hoping schools will be among those who get involved in the project.

Dr Helen Roy, UK ladybird survey co-ordinator from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, said: "We will be able to witness evolution in action as the native parasites begin to adapt to life within the alien harlequin."

She said results would contribute valuable data to the long-running UK ladybird survey.
