Network Economics
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.
