BBB operates a national mobile phone (cell phone) network in one country. It is considering investing in upgrading its network to 4th Generation (4G) by providing an improved bandwidth that will enable its customers faster access to theInternet.
The investment will cost $29 millionwhich BBB's institutional investors have agreed to provide by subscribing to a rights issue. This is because management has informedinstitutional investorsthat a rival is already offering 4G and that this is taking customers away from BBB because BBB's network is now regarded as too slow. BBB's remaining customers have shown a willingness to pay extra for 4G and overall the investment will have a positive net present value.

I think stakeholder approval is implied since the investors are on board, but I wonder if all stakeholders are really in agreement.

I'm not entirely sure about the first mover advantage; I think it only applies if they launch before the rival, but they might just be catching up.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to think through the project management process carefully to determine when Directing a Project begins.

I'm not so sure. While the investment seems to have a positive net present value, I'm curious about the specifics of the market development opportunity. Is this really a sure thing, or could it backfire if the rival's 4G network is more advanced?
