When you experience the most severe earthquake in the world, some problems follow. We had some difficulties in communication as a result of the base stations being in the buildings, the power cut, etc. In fact, we have generators and UPSs at our base stations, and after a while they started to go out of business. We experienced its problems in the first days, but on the 3rd day, we solved the problem with more mobile base stations, but We also saw the shortcomings in that well.. We will have the necessary penalties and sanctions imposed on them by GSM companies. In such a possible situation, we will also look at what it takes to avoid them. They also have some excuses. When they want to build a standalone tower their difficulties and they have difficulties in installing cell towers in public buildings, but none of this is an excuse. If this is a need, we must do whatever is necessary to meet this need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Because we think they don’t take action We gave fines to GSM companies. We have also launched investigations and investigations against them. If necessary, they will be done. If we don’t do them today, in such possible situations we will we can live again. We need to help these GSM companies set up base stations and towers, but they also have a lot to do. It’s our duty to have it done, too. we will doIf not, we will apply the necessary penal sanctions.
