Workshop in Business models and techno-economic analysis for 5G networks

The workshop will focus on relevant business- and techno-economic-aspects of future 5G networks. It will provide insight on the business impacts and opportunities from the deployment of 5G networks for all actors in the telecommunications ecosystem such as verticals, incumbent and new operators, service providers, application developers, content providers, regulators, equipment manufacturers etc. The potential for new roles such as brokers, aggregators and marketplaces, will also be discussed.

The workshop will consider contributions coming from collaborative research funded projects under the H2020 umbrella, which include both the European funded projects, e.g. the 5GPPP Phase I set, but also the EU-Japan, EU-Korea and EU-Brazil co-funded schemes, so to offer the broadest possible technical as well as geographical coverage of business models and analysis of 5G networks worldwide.
5G networks promise to address most of the existing limitations of current networks as well as improve several aspects and introduce new functionalities and business models. Network softwarization, virtualization and multi-tenancy are some of the improvements associated with 5G that can create new business opportunities for traditional telecom operators and new actors such as service providers, software developers, brokers, startups and SMEs. The session will address these new business opportunities and will present and debate new business models.
The workshop will also address aspects related to the techno-economic analysis of future 5G deployments such as CAPEX and OPEX modeling, demand models for new services, pricing strategies and charging schemes, including new methodologies and modeling. It will also identify major challenges of business and service coordination in the multi-actor 5G services value chain and will depict the correlation of 5G wholesale services as fundamental building blocks and enablers for retail markets and verticals.
The workshop will bring together representatives from the most important H2020 projects and other interested parties which have a common interest in the development and progression of the identified topics.
