This research assesses the performance of over-dispersed Poisson regression model and negative binomial model with count data. It examines the association between price plan features of mobile phone services and the number of people who adopt the plan. Mobile service data is used to estimate the model with a sample of one million customers running from February 2006 to September 2009. Under three main categories, customer type, age, and handset price, we run the model based on price plan features. Estimates are derived from the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method. Root mean squared error (RMSE) is used to observe the statistical fits of all the regression models. Then, we construct four estimation and holdout samples, leaving out one, three, six, and twelve months. The estimation constitutes the in-sample (IS) and the holdout represents the out-sample (OS). By estimating the IS, we predict the OS. Root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) is checked to see how accurate the prediction is. Results generally suggest that academic year start (AYS), seasonality, duration of months since launch of price plan (DMLP), basic fees, rate with no discount (RND), free call minutes (FCM), free data (FD), free text messaging (FTM), free perk rating (FPR), and handset support all show significant effect. The significance occurs depending on the segment. The RMSE and RMSEP show that the over-dispersed Poisson model outperforms the negative binomial model. Further implications and limitations of the results are discussed. / text

Blockchain technology has become an appealing concept in Distributed Systems because it enables a distributed storage of information, replacing a central database [1]. In addition, Blockchains promise to address inherent and difficult issues in distributed systems such as a) proving the provenance of information, i.e., the documentation where pieces of data comes from (including their the processing), and b) that the information has not been changed, i.e., the integrity of the information has not been corrupted. The data in a Blockchain is said to be immutable. In this thesis, we apply Blockchain technology as a concept in Distributed Systems for securely collecting and storing data from distributed cloud resources that must be intact over a longer amount of time, such as the amount of consumed cloud resources characterized by CPU load or energy usage. In particular, this work considers a peer-to-peer energy use case where virtual energy resources are monitored. The focus of this thesis is on a) how a Blockchain for a distributed Cloud monitoring can be implemented, b) how the workload can be characterized and c) how the Blockchain system’s performance can be observed and what performance can be achieved. Therefore, the work defines an initial system model, provide an implementation, and carries out experiments in order to understand the impact of the design factors and the system input to the capabilities and performance of the system. The results of the experiments, the workload characterization and performance analysis, are analysed by statistical means and provided as graphs. The choices of system models, Blockchain technology (Hyperledger Fabric), and other parameters, are based on the literature review. The experimental implementation is, in turn, based on the selected system model, where we want to experimentally identify limitations and bottlenecks of the performance.

Public procurement, as a form of public purchases of goods and services through the private sector, is still an actual topic. The government expenditures that are related to procurement are regulated by the European Union to save public spending, for example by using centralized procurement. This thesis is focused on a concrete, centralized public procurement called, Provision of mobile electronic communication services, in which the capital city of the Czech republic, Prague, acts as a central contracting authority and the city districts of Prague act as subordinate contracting authorities. There is a characteristic of public procurement through a centralized method and based on the case study of the city districts of the capital city of Prague identifying the advantages and disadvantages of using this method and formulating recommendations to the central contracting authority for higher success of the future public procurement.

The theme of the thesis is an analysis of current mobile operator selected services. This work focuses on the present and the future development of mobile internet connection. The aim is to analyze existing services at Telefónica Czech Republic and The work is divided into several parts. The first part focuses on the selection of a particular operator. I described at al. Czech Republic and Telefónica, which is the first integrated operator in the Czech Republic. The company currently operates more than seven million mobile numbers and fixed lines, making it one of the leading providers of fully converged services in Europe. I focused on the organizational structure of the company and its description. The second part is historical, describes the history of mobile networks in the CR, the history of mobile communications in the data and the development of mobile connections in the country. The third part is theoretical, describes al. Czech Republic Telefonica SpA in terms of services it offers in this section is also described ISO certification, EMS policy and business principles. Are described voice and mobile services, mobile data services and connectivity technologies and different types of technologies (GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA + and LTE). Another section includes the development of mobile connections in the CR, the current situation where Telefónica provides 3G connection for almost 71% of the population and the current state of commercial LTE network. I tried to describe the current mobile platforms, and even telecommunications market in the Czech Republic. The penultimate section specifies the geographic traffic distribution network operator and the last part, I dealt with the analysis and comparison services. The total contribution of the thesis see the approach and evaluation of existing services together. Telefónica Czech Republic, as, which is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world.

The purpose of this diploma theses is to demonstrate the comprehensive view on the "financial health" of T-Mobile Czech Republic a.s. through the financial analysis process between year 2003 and 2007 from the position of the external user. The theoretic part of this theses is focused on the brief history, definition and principle of the financial analysis, then on users of the financial analysis and information sources for its realization including the pointing out the limitation of predicative abilities of the accounting data. Understanding of the traditional but also new methods, which are applied within the financial analysis (including the methods of intercompany comparison), is another part of the theoretic definition of the financial analysis. The practical part of the theses deals with the characteristics of T-Mobile company and with processing of the strategic analysis, which put us closer to the outside and inside surroundings of the analysed firm. It is followed by processing of the financial analysis of T-Mobile company (including comparison with its competitors), comments and evaluation of findings and results (including their comparison, where it is possible, with standard (recommended) values or with the "branch average values") and by pointing out strenghts and weaknesses of operations of the analysed company.
