Abstract：
What will be effective business models for 5G? This presentation reviews business models from i-mode, 3G and 4G, and provides a comprehensive financial evaluation for 5G networks for a prospective operator. The presentation elaborates upon several dimensions of 5G, including network architecture options and spectrum optimization strategies, and shows break-even figures for a national 5G network. The 5G modelling is based on a recent project for the NRA in Thailand, on auction design for 5G.
