Telecom tower supply landscape

Supply of Telecom Towers

Source: IPO Offering Circular, company filings and public news sources(1) Estimated numbers of BTS slots demand and supply by SCBAM and TAM(2) Estimated numbers of existing towers in Thailand by SCBAM and TAM

DIF is well positioned to capture the demand for BTS slots given its neutrality and

assets that are readily available for rent

Currently the only player who actively markets telco towers to other operators

3,000 towers ready for lease within 2015 and another 3,000 within 2016

Key Drivers for Colocation

Higher frequencies require

more BTS to achieve the
