TONIC is a project that concentrates on techno-economic evaluation of new communication networks and services, in order to identify the economically viable solutions that can make the Information Society to really take place.
TONIC uses case study approach to assess new broadband and IP service scenarios, yielding quantitative economic results, and identifying and quantifying the associated risk factors. The project team builds upon long experience in developing and exploiting techno-economic models for broadband access network evolution analyses.
The results are key economic indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period. Based on these results and on the risk analysis, TONIC will formulate recommendations for optimal service rollout strategies.
