Abstract
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for developing communication services comprises from two parts; CAPital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX). These two types of costs are interrelated and affect any service provider’s deployment strategy. In many traditional methods, selection of critical elements of a new service is performed in a heuristic manner aimed at reducing only the OPEX part of the TCO which is not necessarily optimal. In the current chapter, a brief review of the TCO for a communication service is proposed.
