INTRODUCTION
The tremendous growth of information and communication technology (ICT) has revolutionized
how people, organizations and institutions access and employ information. Access to
dependable and high-speed internet is now regarded as a basic human need, rather than a
privilege, especially in urban and semi-urban setups of developing nations like Bangladesh.
Increased reliance on remote learning, working from home, digital banking and e-commerce has
expanded the use of broadband over the past decade. The majority of users now prefer faster and
more reliable broadband connections that are capable of supporting digital activities in the
present time (Bangs, 2002).
Broadband Internet in Bangladesh was dominated by the DSL, fiber optic and cable media as
well as satellite internet. While such technologies offer a satisfactory level of service quality,
they often suffer from high costs of infrastructure provision, limited coverage and rigid
installation constraints. A large number of potential customers, particularly in highly populated
urban areas, have difficulty subscribing to wired broadband services because of constrains on
the physical network and on availability. Therefore, wireless broadband technology can serve as
an alternative to overcome such structural difficulties, providing similar speed and quality
connectivity (Chesbrough & Rosenbloom, 2002).
WIXCONNECT Wireless Broadband is targeted as a new startup venture to meet the explosive
demand, built on Wi-MAX technology. The project WIXCONNECT aims to offer affordable,
wide-reaching broadband internet services in the Khulna Metropolis where building an
extensive cable network is not feasible through wireless (airwave) transmission technology. WI-
MAX technology makes it simple to transmit the signal across a wide coverage area, thus no
installation work not only eliminates but also can be used with low operating cost. With this
advantage, it would provide competitive pricing with acceptable quality of services which in turn
creates value for customers and the company (Hamel, 2000).
The business plan is built up with clear concentration upon identifiable market segments which
will be the most willing to adapt wireless broadband. Those factors are graduation students, IT
professionals and technology interested users who exhibit their heavy online usage ,huge
dependability upon the digital connection and easy adoption of the new technologies. Since the

promotional approaches.
E. Performance Standards
FINANCIAL PLAN
A. Financial Projections
WIXCONNECT Wireless Broadband will be financed primarily through owner’s equity during
the startup phase. This approach allows the business to maintain full ownership control while
minimizing financial risk associated with external borrowing. The initial capital will be used to
cover startup expenses, including networking equipment, Wi-MAX infrastructure, office setup,

limited external financing if required for expansion.
The projected financial performance is based on conservative assumptions regarding subscriber
growth, pricing, and operating costs. Monthly operating expenses include bandwidth
procurement, staff salaries, maintenance, office rent, utilities, and administrative costs. Due to
the wireless nature of the service, infrastructure and maintenance costs remain lower than those
of traditional wired internet service providers. This cost advantage supports competitive pricing
while maintaining acceptable profit margins.
Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model, where customers pay a fixed monthly
fee for wireless broadband access. As the subscriber base grows steadily, recurring revenue is
expected to increase over time. Financial projections indicate that WIXCONNECT is likely to
reach its break-even point within the first year of operation, after which the business is expected
to generate positive net income. Key financial indicators such as cash flow, operating margin,
and cost efficiency will be closely monitored to ensure financial health.
To manage financial risks, WIXCONNECT will adopt strict budgeting and spending controls.
Regular cash flow analysis will be conducted to ensure sufficient liquidity for operational needs
and obligations. Performance targets will be set for short-term (one year) and medium-term
(three to five years) periods, focusing on revenue growth, cost control, and asset utilization.
B. Contingency Plan
The contingency plan outlines alternative actions in case the business does not perform as
projected. If subscriber growth is slower than expected, WIXCONNECT will reduce
discretionary expenses, adjust marketing strategies, and focus on high-demand customer
segments to stabilize revenue. Pricing strategies may also be revised to attract cost-sensitive
users without compromising service quality.
In the event of unexpected cost increases, such as higher bandwidth prices or equipment
maintenance costs, the business will seek alternative suppliers and renegotiate service contracts.
Technical contingencies include maintaining backup equipment and alternative bandwidth
arrangements to ensure service continuity. Additionally, operational responsibilities will be
clearly documented to ensure business continuity in case of temporary unavailability of key
personnel.
Overall, the financial plan demonstrates that WIXCONNECT Wireless Broadband is financially
feasible and capable of managing operational and market-related risks. Through conservative
financial planning, disciplined cost management, and proactive risk mitigation, the business aims
to achieve stable operations, early profitability, and sustainable long-term growth.
MONITORING
Operational monitoring will focus on service quality and network performance. Key indicators
such as network uptime, signal strength, bandwidth utilization, and frequency of service
disruptions will be tracked continuously through centralized monitoring systems. Regular
technical reviews will help ensure reliable service delivery and minimize downtime, which is
critical for customer retention.
Financial monitoring will involve periodic review of revenue, operating expenses, cash flow, and
profitability. Monthly financial statements and cash flow reports will be prepared to assess
whether the business is meeting its financial projections. Budget variances will be analyzed to
control costs and maintain liquidity. Key financial ratios and performance benchmarks will be
used to evaluate overall financial stability and efficiency.
Customer-related monitoring will emphasize satisfaction and retention. Customer feedback will
be collected through service inquiries, complaints, and periodic surveys. Subscription growth,
churn rate, and repeat usage patterns will be analyzed to understand customer behavior and
service acceptance. These insights will guide improvements in service quality, pricing, and
support mechanisms.
Responsibility for monitoring activities will rest primarily with the management, supported by
technical and administrative staff. Performance results will be reviewed on a monthly and
quarterly basis, and strategic adjustments will be made as necessary. Through continuous
monitoring and evaluation, WIXCONNECT aims to maintain operational efficiency, financial
discipline, and long-term business sustainability.
Conclusion
This business plan has analyzed the viability and strategy of WIXCONNECT Wireless
