Abstract

As mobile wireless unfolds, the business-world looks for an assessment of the technical and competitive landscape, for a high return on investment opportunities, for sweet spots in the value chain, and for value propositions of the industry. In short, mobile wireless stakeholders must understand the economics of delivering mobile wireless value. This paper summarizes the mobile wireless economics to help the stakeholders discharge their responsibilities. Because customers' perception of mobile wireless value decides the success of the industry's offering, this paper describes the value propositions that the mobile wireless chain is evolving to offer. Then, it traces chronological roots of the chain to describe how fundamental drivers and key economic characteristics of the evolutionary phases have led the growth of the evolving industry. Mobile network operators' regulatory environment and spectrum acquisition strategies, and technology investment and subscriber penetration life cycles have been discovered in the industry These life cycles along with network economics of mobile wireless help explain the current dynamics in the industry, and will lead to the emergence of mobile wireless industry.
