Economics of Video Telephony and VoIP over EV-DO Revision A

Abstract

EV-DO Revision A, with its significantly higher carrier spectral efficiencies and data throughput enables VoIP, Video Telephony (VT) and other IMS applications to generate substantive value for telecom operators. In addition to preparing the operator network for future technology, these applications provide additional revenue opportunities while simultaneously bringing down both capital and operating expenses. Each of these two services - VT and VoIP - is economically viable on its own. Taken together, they offer additional synergistic benefits to the operator.
