Popis: This article presents a techno-economic evaluation of 3G rollout scenarios in two "typical" European countries with contrasting profiles, analyzing both the incumbent and newcomer business cases. The analysis is based on a techno-economic methodology developed within the ACTS-TERA project. Market and tariff forecasts as well as the technological evolutionary paths are discussed and financial figures are analyzed. Sensitivity analysis follows these basic results in order to identify the impact of uncertainties and risks. The success of such an investment project mainly depends on the regulatory framework, demand and tariff structure, and the market share.
