The challenge to monetizing on LTE deployment

Taken the massive CAPEX requirements for the nationwide roll-out of LTE networks, extended 3G pricing models for LTE services simply do not serve to obtain the necessary return on investment on LTE networks. Also were it comes to LTE specific services like VoLTE and RCS (Rich Communication Suite) there is little hope that these services can bring the required monetization on LTE networks since OTT players already offer these services for free.

Three pillars of LTE-network monetization

For LTE networks to bring in profit beyond mere access, operators must become experts in three main areas: the control plane, the data plane (traffic) and subscriber data (see figure below). The combination of these might provide both new areas of growth and new ways to generate revenue from an existing subscriber base.
