Analysys Mason has extensive experience in supporting successful fixed-licence applications and related transactions.
We cover all aspects of telecoms operations concerning the delivery of voice and non-voice services over fixed networks, from commercial, technical and regulatory perspectives. Our specialist experience in this area has allowed us to refine our successful approach to produce deliverables that meet the most stringent quality requirements.
Licence auctions provide new opportunities for fixed-network operators, for example in emerging markets. The introduction of digital television licences in some countries also creates new threats and opportunities for players in traditional TV and fixed-network markets.
We always work in close co-operation with our clients to fully understand the specific circumstances of the project. We offer business planning and forecasting solutions based on a robust financial analysis, whilst also looking for innovative ideas which can be realistically implemented and which can distinguish our client’s bid from those of the competition.
Under the time pressure of auction deadlines, we have demonstrated on numerous occasions our ability to accommodate unexpected changes to project timescales, and other external information shocks, whilst meeting critical deadlines.
Sample projects
In the context of licence applications and transactions, we have worked with a large number of international clients.
- We assisted an operator in a Southern European country during the process of market liberalisation.
- In recent years, we have been active in the Middle Eastern and African region where we led a number of projects to support operators in securing additionally issued licences.
- We have also worked with regulators in this region, as our work for the Afghan government in the process of market liberalisation demonstrates.
The success of these projects is documented by the ongoing relationships with most of these clients which were often significantly extended to areas beyond licence procurement as a result of customer satisfaction.
