Geomarketing aspects such as service definitions and customer demand mapping are addressed by VPIaccessMaker TM Markets. 2. The network -planning phase including access technology selection and the architecture modeling process is handled by VPIaccessMarker TM Technologies. 3. Business analysis such as technoeconomic assessments and comparisons are performed using VPIaccessMaker TM Economics. 4. All geographical aspects such as area maps, customer locations or network layout are handled by the geographical information system (GIS). Strategy for evolving Architectures Session
