COmpetition and INnovation in the converging Internet and mobile networks		 TKK-logo

Project overview

COIN is a two-year national project (2006-2007), continuing and expanding the work initiated in the earlier LEAD project (2004-2005).

COIN aims to improve the techno-economic understanding of the dynamics of the national mobile and wireless services market. The key stakeholders of the Finnish mobile market are involved in the project, and the results will contribute to both regulatory and strategic planning.
