Development of the Wi-Fi Offloading Business Concept within the African Marke...Beneyam Haile
Offloading traffic to Wi-Fi networks is now becoming
an attractive way of alleviating congestion and extending
coverage without the need for significant additional investments for increased mobile network coverage and capacity. While Wi-Fi offloading technology standards are maturing and various vendor solutions being adopted by operators in developed economies, the offloading business models need to be reevaluated for Africa where the Wi-Fi adoption patterns and regulations are a rather different. In this study, we aim to analyze the Wi-Fi offloading business model for the African market context in a holistic manner by identifying plausible offloading scenarios, noting the critical success factors (or barriers) and evaluating the emerging value network configurations. Finally, we present an exemplary business model for an Offloading Service Provider based on an existing offloading vendor solution and using the STOF model as the theoretical framework.
