Challenges for Successful Implementation of ICT Projects
Developing Nations and Telecoms• Better Telecommunications Higher GDP
• Typically 1 Fixed line PTT and 2 Mobile (GSM) Carriers– Wireline deployment limited to Metro areas Long waiting lists
– Low GSM penetration – typically due to higher costs
– Duopolistic price setting further limits penetration
• Regulators Seek to Improve Penetration, and Maximize Existing Assets– Additional licenses intended to spur competition increased penetration
– Utilization of existing assets drives GSM-specific tenders
– 3rd, 4th, 5th… Licensees have a very challenging business case:• Incumbents have captured high-ARPU subs• New licensee(s) forced to target lower-ARPU users• If technology specified (say, GSM) Little room to improve costs
• Break-Even Monthly ARPUs: GSM - ~$12; CDMA - $7
Need to encourage technology which offers lower costs, and can thereby support lower ARPUs Increased Penetration
