Network usage analysis system using cost structure and revenue and method

摘要

A network usage analysis system includes a data collector that is coupled to a network comprising a plurality of links over at least one selected geographic area. The data collector collects usage data corresponding to a level of use of the plurality of links, the cost of maintaining the plurality of links in the selected geographic area, and corresponding to the revenue generated from subscribers using the network in the selected geographic area. The system also includes a system server coupled to the data collector. The system server receives the usage data from the data collector and determines the economic feasibility for maintaining the network in the selected geographic area based on the subscriber usage data.
