Network Design and Management focuses on the latest methodological developments in three key areas---pricing of telecommunications services, network design, and resource allocation. These three elements are most relevant to current telecommunications planning.

"The research presented in Telecommunications Planning: Innovations in Pricing, Network Design and Management focuses on the latest methodological developments in three key areas - pricing of telecommunications services, network design, and resource allocation. These three elements are most relevant to current telecommunications planning.
