TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the efficiency implications of the liberalisation policy in Korea's telecommunications industry and developed a contextual understanding of the Korean evolutionary path and discussed various transitional difficulties and additional complications posed by business conglomerates that Korea confronted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of research that aimed to fill this gap by identifying, from a network/international perspective, the opportunities/threats created by the relevant linkages of leading telecom operators in Brazil.
Abstract: In response to competitive pressures created by privatization, telecom firms in developing countries are establishing alliances and other types of linkages—mergers and acquisitions—with foreign partners to ensure customer competitive advantages in global markets. However, there have been very few studies on the alliances of telecom operators in Brazil, an increasingly important BRIC. This article presents the results of research that aimed to fill this gap by identifying, from a network/international perspective, the opportunities/threats created by the relevant linkages of leading telecom operators in Brazil. The results suggest that acquisitions—and especially alliance-type linkages with foreign partners—have created opportunities for boosting performance, in keeping with their new strategic profile.

TL;DR: The validity of the Gaussian-noise model as the basis for an open-source optical network planning tool and GN-model based predictions suggest the GN model a feasible choice for penalty estimation are explored.
Abstract: We explore the validity of the Gaussian-noise (GN) model as the basis for an open-source optical network planning tool. Experimental results and GN-model based predictions suggest the GN model a feasible choice for penalty estimation.

TL;DR: The basics of real options theory are introduced and a practical methodology to apply real options to realistic telecom business cases is provided and it is indicated why the characteristics of this sector make it very well suited to applyreal options to investment projects.
Abstract: The rapid technological change and uncertain future evolutions have a large impact on investment projects in the telecommunication sector. When new infrastructure networks are rolled out, the initial assumptions can prove to be untrue in the future, severely impacting the payoff. It is therefore extremely important that projects offer flexibility to allow the management to react to unforeseen changes. Management must, for example, be able to decide to speed up the project, slow it down, or even completely abandon it. However, the standard method used to evaluate investment projects, the Net Present Value analysis, is unable to capture the value of these different flexibility options. The Real Option concept, derived from financial literature, was proposed as a solution and implements this flexibility in the standard calculations. However, the Real Option Theory is only slowly getting accepted within the telecommunication sector. In this paper, we introduce the basics of real options theory and provide a practical methodology to apply real options to realistic telecom business cases. In addition, we will indicate why the characteristics of this sector make it very well suited to apply real options to investment projects. The rollout of fixed next generation access networks offers a broad range of growth options to the operator, e.g. additional network upgrades or the introduction of new services. Using real options allows one to compare the flexibility value of all these options.
