Pricing War in South Africa with Chinese Tower Manufacturers

In a random web search, I came across this document on tower steel pricing which is from a South African tower manufacturer describing the issues that they are having with Chinese manufacturers flooding the South African tower market with cheap towers.   I can’t comment on the accuracy of the article or the impact in the US- but I just wanted to share it because it is fascinating.

Please note that this is a link to a word document on tower steel pricing- so it may be blocked in your browser.
