The impact of collaboration in infrastructure sharing on cost and risk at Neotel.Mabuse, Dinah Annah. January 2014 (has links)
M. Tech. Business Administration / Fixed-line operators in South Africa as well as globally have had a difficult battle, facing external pressures such as deregulation, a severe industry and economic downturn and declining prices. Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) is dropping as operators delay or cut back on spending. With the internet economy, digital media and other telecommunications activities still trying to establish, there is a need for modern and efficient infrastructure that is becoming more critical and therefore, collaboration in infrastructure sharing between organisations is becoming a growing subject of interest to the telecommunication industry, as it is seen as an opportunity to reduce the costs of deploying infrastructure and of gearing investment towards under-serviced areas. In this study, an effort is made to assess how collaboration in terms of a joint venture between Neotel, Vodacom and MTN can have an effect in terms of infrastructure sharing by establishing how the approach can reduce costs (infrastructure building and operating) in Neotel and to assess the risks associated with it.
