Introduction Wireless technologies have been deployed in different parts of the world to provide local loop telecommunication services. Compared to traditional wireline (copper) local loop, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) technology solutions can be deployed much faster and at lower cost. In developing countries there has always been strong interest in using WLL technologies to bridge the ‘digital divide’. Choosing the best WLL technology can be a challenging task, given the multiplicity of technologies available in different frequency bands. Many WLL technologies are proprietary, limited to a specific frequency band or only available from a few manufacturers, making it difficult to achieve the economies of scale that will lead to subsequent equipment cost reductions. Moreover, a challenge for WLL technologies is meeting the increasing demand for Internet access and broadband data applications.

  • A Strategic Business Model for the Introduction of Mobile Data Services in an Emerging Economy – the Case of the South African Market
    University of Pretoria etd – Benn, L J (2005) A Strategic Business Model for the Introduction of Mobile Data Services in an Emerging Economy – The Case of the South African Market by Leon J. Benn Submitted as partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MSc. (Technology Management) in the FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA PRETORIA November 2004 University of Pretoria etd – Benn, L J (2005) DISSERTATION SUMMARY A Strategic Business Model for the Introduction of Mobile Data Services in an Emerging Economy – Focus on the South African Market by Leon Jacobus Benn Supervisor : Prof. M.O. Kachieng’a Department : Department of Engineering and Technology Management UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA Degree : M Sc (Technology Management) This dissertation investigates the critical success factors behind the successful introduction of Mobile Data Services to the South African market. An evaluation of the history of telecommunications found that progress in the global telecommunications industry has been characterised by innovation in technological hardware, followed by innovation in policies. Such innovation mainly contributed to the development of voice services in the mobile telecommunications industry. Wireless technology is no longer simply an extension of fixed line voice communication, but a mature independent technology. This maturity is also reflected by the declining state of revenues generated by voice services. Market incumbents expect data services to provide increased revenues. The current wireless industry business value chain is evolving and becoming more complex due to new incumbents in the market and new relationships that are formed between new and existing incumbents. Although a new structured value chain is presented, reality indicates a diffusion of functions within the value chain.
