Abstract

Cloud computing represents a major change in how IT resources are delivered and consumed and will influence the telecom industry, its future services and business offerings. Generating new revenues through offering cloud-based services is less discussed in the literature, followed by a lack of commonly agreed and complete methodologies for this purpose. In this paper we propose a three-step method combining qualitative and quantitative models for the assessment of telco's new business opportunities, in particular, a combined role of cloud broker and carrier.
