Drivers of Novel Access Provisioning -Re-Use Aspects and Operator Cooperation

New network and business architectures with low cost factors are necessary to promote development of extensive usage of a multitude of high data rate wireless services similar to the Internet. The novel access provisioning (NAP) project investigates the possibilities in local access and service provisioning as a complement to existing mobile networks. We expect that successful high bandwidth mobility services require more than local coverage even if wide area coverage is compromised. Many local access providers need to cooperate to make the service reasonably accessible. Different drivers of new market players and business models are analyzed
