Popis: Radio spectrum and network infrastructure are two essential resources for mobile service delivery, which are both costly and increasingly scarce. In this paper we consider drivers and barriers of network sharing, which is seen as a potential solution for scarcity in these resources. We considered a full sharing scenario for a Mobile Network Operator using the Business Model Canvas method, and concluded that options for technological differentiation may be limited which in turn leads to increased competition between existing players. ©2010 IEEE.
