		<description>This is interesting Analysis on Opex Improvement covering commisions, overhead, customer care and IT.

One other bucket where Operators can have Opex Saving is Network Related Costs. Depending upon Operator and Geography , this bucket  can vary anywhere between 35% to 50% of Opex. In Network Related Costs largest component is Power Related ( Around 25 to 35% of Network Cost). There are many efficient approaches, which can help operators save this cost. 

Similarly like Power there are other components of Network Operators Operating Cost - Backhaul, Leased Lines, Rental, Interconnect, Repair and Maintenance which can be be looked with critical eye for optimization
