Introductions
Currently the most popular issue in Thailand Telecommunication industry is new technologies which are 3G mobile
phone and WiMAX. What technology will be come a killer technology for high speed
communication network in next decade.
Every Mobile Network Operators and Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Thailand are keeping their eyes on 3G and WiMAX technology in order to evaluate which technology is most valuable for investment.
This study investigates the financial (Economic Feasibility) consequences of the implementation of 3G mobile phone and WiMAX technology in providing data service.

As a high competition in mobile market every operator try differentiate themselves form other and avoid price war by
launching new value added service (VAS).
The number of VAS and revenue especially in Data service are increase continuously. This information may imply that voice
service is saturated and non-voice service is in growth stage. The non-voice service will become the new cash cow for mobile
operator in making revenue.

3G Technology The 3rd generation (3G) technologies are designed to
provide high-speed wireless data and enhanced voice capacity. CDMA2000 and WCDMA 3G technologies based commercial networks are now providing service to tens of millions of paying subscribers (Yaliapragada and Naidu,
2005). The new enhancements in WCDMA standards include
significantly improved data capabilities for the downlink communications using the HSDPA mode. HSDPA offers
downlink peak data rates of up to 10 Mbps is mainly aimed at providing data applications with enhanced end-user
experience with shorter connection and response times (Yaliapragada and Naidu, 2005).

Cash flow is positive every years and NPV also positive. ROI is also high in every scenario in both 3G and WiMAX technology.
In reverse 3G make it better in Pay Back Period
The WiMAX has a disadvantage in amount of loan because it is quite new when compare to 3G so, it need some time in gaining new user and cost of equipment still high
The main factor which effect to all financial calculation is number of demand forecasting in both 3G and WiMAX.
LOGO
35
Recommendations
1
The most suitable to invest is 3G
technology because it require amount of
loan lowest than WiMAX and pay
back period is not take so long even in worse case scenario
2
In reverse if demand is the same between 3G and WiMAX as
shown in scenario 2 WiMAX is attractive
to invest also
3
The main criteria which should
consider before choose between 3G
and WiMAX is number of
forecasting of potential user
LOGO36
