            	The economics will 
				drive the deployment of networks and services. The deployment of 
				new networks requires significant resources. Network operators 
				can devise mechanisms to improve the capital intensity at which 
				they operate. The long-term goal of network operators is to 
				optimise capital intensity (CAPEX plus OPEX divided by the 
				revenue) by unlocking additional value from 
				networks in a cost-efficient manner. Network Economic Model 
				should first baseline existing network topology, and then 
				iteratively overlay and profile new disruptive technologies or 
				network management strategies that can deliver efficiencies or 
				new revenues. Modelling is ratified via an operator review to 
				evaluate the potential impact.
