Regulation of Communications Markets

All around the world, the communications environment continues to undergo rapid change. The spread of new technology and the trend towards increased liberalisation and privatisation have opened up telecommunications markets, leading to new styles of regulation and new challenges for regulatory authorities.

InterConnect Communications’ multi-disciplined team of telecommunications experts has assisted many governments and regulators to adapt and implement new regulatory regimes. As a result, we have amassed a wealth of project experience in telecommunications reform, institutional development and regulatory structures. InterConnect's multi-disciplined team has global expertise in all aspects of legal, commercial and technical aspects of regulation, and can provide comprehensive and up-to-date advice on:

Establishing, maintaining and strengthening appropriate regulatory frameworks, i.e.:
- Sector policy;
- Legislation;
Institutional development of regulatory bodies;
Authorisation and licensing, including:
- Application and issuing mechanisms;
- Monitoring and enforcement;
Retail tariff regulation;
Policies and strategies for achieving Universal Service Provision;

Our knowledge and expertise covers most aspects of the regulated market and most geographical regions. InterConnect consultants have already assisted many Ministries and National Regulatory Authorities in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean.

A particular specialism and core competence is our knowledge of European Directives and their impact on telecommunications networks and services, and we are well-placed to provide expert advice to governments and other bodies wishing to align their procedures and requirements with those of the European Union (EU).
