Description
Summary:The economic evaluation of a mature ATM network is presented. The authors discuss the issues involved and present two examples. Four customer categories are taken into account, namely residential, small business, medium business, and large business customers. The aim is to introduce a simple meaningful model, which incorporates the most important factors that influence the economic viability of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network, and to present the limits and limitations of the area of economic evaluation. The revenue, cost, and net income (of the network operator) are calculated for two different scenarios, that is with and without residential customers.< >
