This report will help you assess the long-term financial prospects for mobile service providers and telecom equipment vendors at a global level. Pyramid Research’s forecasts of metrics such as mobile subscriber and user penetration will help you make strategic decisions to maximize the return on your investments.
The report is accompanied by three Excel-based financial models, which track the operational and financial performance of WiMAX deployments built around the following parameters:
- Large-scale deployment in a developed market by an MNO (assumptions driven by Sprint Nextel’s WiMAX business model)
- Build-as-you-go deployment in an emerging market by a market entrant (assumptions driven by Bulgarian operator Max Telecom’s WiMAX business model).
- Service provider focused on the enterprise market.
On close examination, we find some parts of the WiMAX value proposition fairly compelling, and others not entirely convincing.
