 ===== Airtel India =====
 {{ :airtel_india_open_network.png?direct&200|}}In India, veteran operator Airtel have published a new [[https://www.airtel.in/opennetwork/|website entitled Open Network]] in which they map all of their towers for both 2G and 4G networks, as well as identifying where towers are being upgraded and where they are needed. The website goes by the slogan “//Because you have a lot to say. And we have nothing to hide//”. This is strong evidence to illustrate how transparency, far from being a liability, can actually be a powerful tool for marketing. This is the first instance of a commercial operator publishing tower locations.
