• “Shopping centre” owner

• Build the best networks that enable applications to operate well

• Do this in partnership with technology suppliers:– But there is more to building the network than installing equipment or

owning base stations

– It is about the overall user experience on the network which is determined by the engineering design that goes into managing coverage and capacity, ensuring that all the pieces of the ecosystem work together

• For example HSPA+ introduction with Ericsson, Qualcomm, Sierra Wireless
