The business case is that to deploy the value add services in an under-served (rural) area, you need infrastructure. And in getting that infrastructure, in the current climate, it is often cheaper to build it yourself (this presumes the company has the ability to fund the capital). The incumbent telecom companies have not changed their cost structure in many years and in the mean time the cost to build has come down. So, using the services that need to be delivered as a lever, it\u2019s driving companies to look at the cost to build it themselves vs the cost of the incumbents. Over the 200+ telecom projects I have participated on, the payback period is often less than 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Google Inc. is deep into a multipronged effort to build and help run wireless networks in emerging markets as part of a plan to connect a billion or more new people to the Internet. &#8230; Providing &#8230;networks would allow Google to circumvent incumbent cable companies and wireless carriers&#8230;.Google sees its revenue-generating &#8230;services as &#8216;inextricably linked &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textor.ca\/telecom-economics-drives-google-to-go-it-alone\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Telecom Economics Drives Google to &#8220;go it alone&#8221;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linkedin","category-remote-connectivity"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
