NetStrategics offers three pre-structured programmes for regulators, both within the EU, and those looking at the EU as a potential model:

Understanding Market Dynamics

• Making sense of the changes that technology, customer behaviour and regulation bring to industry dynamics.

• Assessing major industry changes like the introduction of NGNs, fixed/mobile/multimedia convergence, IP interconnect and IPTV.

• Considering the effects on consumers, businesses, investment and economic development.

EU Regulatory Framework

• For NRAs and other regulatory bodies within the EU:  support in responding to EC Reviews and Consultations, tailored to specific local requirements.

• For regulators preparing for and managing the transition to the EU Framework (or to similar arrangements):  guidance and support in understanding and implementing the key features, such as Market Reviews, Reference Interconnection Offers and LRIC-based interconnect charges.

Regulatory Equivalence

• Ensuring that established operators treat, and are seen by others to treat, their wholesale customers the same as their own retail business.

• Non-discrimination and equivalence of inputs and outcomes.

• Structural and functional separation.

We also provide bespoke analysis services covering areas such as:

• Industry consolidation
• Local Loop Unbundling
• Spectrum Auction
• IP interconnect and Next Generation Access
• Convergence
