Results:
Finance
We would need a lot of supplies such as fiber cable, optic splitter, converter, antenna and routers
The london underground is 250 miles and worked out it would cost around £ 10,000 per mile, plus extra just in case
£500,000 flat rate
Maintenence cost would include:
System problems
Wifi signal failure
Maintaining the cable, routers, etc
200,000 per year
N-POWER will be our electricity supplier:
£500,000 per year
We are negotiating with both Virgin and BT to provide an internet connection throughout our Wifi network.
£1,000,000 per year (estimate)
Being such a large scale business plan, we need to advertise through our website, press announcements and TV adverts
£500,000 (first year)
I worked out the cost of wages for a year for the nine members of the team plus the four engineering team that would maintain the wifi network
£720,000 per year
Office space in Waterloo
(Price inc, cleaner and car parking)
£20,000 per year
Marketing Costs:
TV-
ITV: £17,000 (30 seond slot, drama/movie)
Underground-
Oxford Circus:£126,500 (4 weeks)
London Busses-
Double Decker Vinyl- £15,549 (12 weeks)
Papers-
The Sun:£50,975 (Mon-Sat) per week (Colour full page)
Metro:£25,109 (Mon-Sat) per week (Colour full page) (London only)
The Guardian:£34,000 (Mon-Sat) per week (Colour full page)
Scenario (Best):
100 million people use it I the year each paying 50p a day for 200 days we would make 1 Billion for that year
Scenario (Average):
50% of Oyster card users (5 million) tried it for one day (50p) £250,000,000
Scenario (Worse):
Only 10% of Oyster card users tried it out for one day we would still make £500,000. This would cover the installation costs.

Patents
Hayley Allen Searching for Patents, there is an awful lot for Wifi... we still need our USP, maybe the payment by the card...Oh maybe it could be swiped like Oyster cards are, and people could pay for the amount of minutes a bit like a mobile phone, they pay for 10 minutes for example... and the swipe machines could be on the tube ...trains themselves rather than on the platforms or both maybe... Just trying to get some ideas :SSee More

i like the oyster swipe idea so for the amont of time it takes it off. But then that voids the origianl pricing. Thought the usp was you can just top up using the oyster cards in shops? Or it just takes the daily rate on the way you first sign up? Think thats the best of both worlds.
