Abstract
As part of its business plan, a new entrant operator (NEO) that is planning to enter an existing telecommunications marketplace will carefully analyse the demographics and demand patterns of its potential customers. The NEO will source the components of the network to meet this demand. This paper models the temporal and spatial characteristics of the likely demand.
