Abstract
IEEE 802.11 technologies allow the deployment of metropolitan access networks. This paper details the reasons for making these networks open to several service providers. The sharing of the wireless access network fosters competition and ultimately benefits the users. The second part of the paper describes the available technologies that allow such infrastructure sharing and compare them in terms of security, scalability, maturity and convenience.
