Business Plan Maraguai
Actual situation • There are around 1 350 000 phone lines in the capital; • 600 elsewhere. • 10% make simultaneous international calls, using 1/2 the capacity of booked capacity to US(4Mb). • The other 2 ISPs only provide email access, covering 0.5% of the telepopulation.
The new ISP - objectives • It will follow a business philosophy of growth and sale • but… • as it has government seed money, it will have to provide reduced rates for governmental departments and schools.
Target market • The ultimate objective is to connect to Internet 20% of the lines in 5 Years. • As our business plan is written for 3 years, the population to cover is 5%
Market strategy • As: • there are already 2 ISP with little initiative; • There is a lot of money floating around but very little internet awareness; • There will be a strong campaign for reputation and brand identification. For that purpose: • 25% of the budget will be allocated; • the rate of customers/modem will be 5.
