TheStructural Separator
Address pressures by exploring innovative structural separation
models -- by splitting into two freestanding businesses: a
network operator and a service-oriented organization, so you
can maximize returns and reap the benefits of both.

The why The what The how
Muted growth, high leverage
and investment-heavy 5G are
driving CSPs to consider bold
structural moves.
Revenue stagnation, declining
ROIC and low investment in
R&D are taking their toll.
Simplifying operations and
revenue streams and focusing
on new products and services
fuel the need for network
separation.
The Structural Separator play
splits CSPs into two free-
standing businesses: one that
operates the network (NetCo)
and one customer-facing
entity (ServCo).
The NetCo provides the
revenue stability and the
expansion capabilities for the
5G mesh network.
The ServCo is focused,
innovative and agile to market
dynamics, unsaddled with
tower operations.
The recommended CSP
approach must be right for
the regulatory environment,
market context and ability
to execute.
There are 3 standard models:
1. Asset-holding
2. Operational asset joint
venture
3. Independent transfer
A split provides numerous
benefits to CSPs, ranging from
improved operations to new
revenue streams.
