KIEV , Nov. 23 – The Ukrainian government has decreased the rent rate for state-owned property where mobile communications equipment will be installed from 40% to 18% and significantly relaxed the procedure for launching mobile communications towers.

"We want to ease the work of mobile operators in two spheres: changing the dissonance for how rent rates for state-owned premises are calculated for mobile towers. Sometimes rental of roofs was calculated as rental of offices. We have facilitated launching of easy-to-assemble towers that could be assembled in three days, while it takes ten times more time to receive permits for them," First Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister Maksym Nefyodov said.
