This paper studies a telecommunications company's optimal network investment strategies. The objective of the company is to maximize the value of the network. According to our numerical examples we are not able to consider a single point-to-point connection separately from the network, because the network demands and capacities affect each other. Therefore, the whole network structure has to be considered in the point-to-point investments.
