Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Micro-economics, grade: 1,7, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: The actual Telecoms one-sided business model is under pressure: tougher regulation, developing technology, potential new entrants, and advancing customer expectations.
