SESSION 6: Business
Aspects of IMT
Background: Installing new telecom infrastructure or upgrading existing networks is capital intensive. Large capital
expenditures are needed at the start and, just as important in developing a business case, there will be need to deal with legacy
installations and the economic realities of running a business: capital investment, operations and maintenance, maintaining and increasing
market share, etc.
There is a natural desire to have some degree of certainty that what is being deployed will serve for a long period of time, and not become
obsolete before the investment has been recouped. This is an especially important consideration for developing countries since they have
more limited financial resources plus many demands on those resources from other important and worthwhile sectors of their societies.
