Green Planet Episode 4: The Green Telecoms Network

Power consumption is a critical component of the network infrastructure of mobile operators. However, between 2 to 3 billion people - roughly one-third of the world's population - are living in energy poverty, and more than 99 percent of people without electricity live in developing regions. But saving energy is not the sole preserve of developing nations. In developed countries, the rising cost of energy, and the realisation of the environmental implications, means that operators are looking to save money wherever possible.
