Effective management of a communications network can be a difficult
and costly activity, and even more so when the network crosses
international borders. International network managers face a number
of issues that are crucial to strategic decision-making, including
the varying telecommunications regulations, operators, and services
found within-as well as between-different countries. Focusing on
these issues, Management of International Networks clears the way
for network managers to make informed, strategic decisions. The
author describes each of these issues in detail and develops
models-illustrated by actual case studies-that allow a quantified
analysis of each. With the ability to quantitatively assess these
factors, managers can forecast the potential of cost-effectively
managing a network within a given country and make decisions, such
as: Where to place hubs for traffic in an international network In
what country to expand the network What services to obtain from
which operator to ensure a cost-effective network The strong
increase in demand for international network services combined with
the rapid changes in the telecommunications environment in many
countries necessitate a closer examination of international
networks and the development of new models and tools that will
facilitate management decisions. Management of International
Networks fulfills this demand. Network managers, planners, and
operators along with consultants, telecommunications
lawyers-virtually anyone working with international networks-will
find this book an invaluable tool and guide to this dynamic,
evolving arena.
