3g Mvnos Financial Perspectives

The Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) business case described hereafter, is based on 3G business cases, particularly regarding the technical infrastructure, but the 2,5G underlying infrastructure as an initial step is also taken into account. Following the definition of appropriate service sets, and taking into account demand scenarios established within the project, this work has been focused on developing a techno-economic model, based on TONIC tool. Tariff structures have been applied to compute the key economic indicators, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and payback period. This investment analysis was carried using the tool, which was developed by IST-TONIC.
