    Course Overview

    Content: Operator business, including network and content services. Value networks. Wireline and wireless. Service pricing and charging. Investments and operational costs. Regulatory issues

    Course Staff: Responsible teacher prof. Heikki Hämmäinen and course assistant Jaspreet Walia (firstname.lastname@aalto.fi). Issues related to exercises, please contact Jaspreet.

    Completion: The completion of the course requires an acceptable performance in the exam and active participation to the obligatory business game session. In the exam there will (probably) be 5 questions each 6 points, yielding max 30 points. The student may also receive additional points from the exercise. However, the bonus points cannot turn an unacceptable exam result to an acceptable one. The bonus points received from the MOB game will be valid for all the exams held before the start of next year's Operator Business course.

    Start: the opening lecture of this course will be held on Wednesday, September 15 at 8:15am using zoom (remotely over Internet). The zoom links will appear in the Materials agenda section. Note that there will be a one-day business game session in October, precise timing will be informed later.

      Note that the lectures and the MOB mobile operator business game session (market competition between student groups) are performed remotely on-line. However, the mode of calculation exercise sessions is agreed with students during the first lecture: on-line vs. face-to-face. Your choice!
