Both were related to telecom operator&#8217;s valuation and both were sharing the same issue: &#8220;Is there any way to optimize the CAPEX investments projected by operators?&#8221;. Non-minor task. CAPEX is normally intensive due to the heavy network deployments operators have to do to acomplish [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=consultantvalueadded.com&#038;blog=3987427&#038;post=69&#038;subd=consultantvalueadded&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
