Ian Streule joined Analysys Mason in 1997, and has executed, managed and directed a comprehensive range of consultancy projects in the areas of mobile and satellite telecoms. As a Senior Specialist, Ian is responsible for a significant proportion of Analysys Mason’s work in the area of mobile termination regulation and the application of long-run incremental cost modelling to mobile services.
He has assisted leading regulators in this area, including Ofcom, the ACCC and OPTA. Ian led three long-term Analysys Mason projects in Sweden, Denmark and Norway to undertake detailed mobile termination cost modelling. These projects included regular interaction with industry parties, multiple rounds of consultation on principles and draft models, bespoke national-specific 2G and 3G network design algorithms, and ultimately advice to these regulators on understanding and interpreting the output of the models for setting regulated prices. Ian has also directed or advised projects on mobile termination regulation for ARCEP, BIPT and the EETT.
Alongside his work for regulatory bodies, Ian has also directed and managed similar projects for mobile operators. He has advised the project teams developing 2G and 3G LRIC models for a number of mobile operators in various regions of the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, South Korea and South America. Ian has also provided strategic advice in the area of mobile termination regulation, provided expert witness testimony during a mobile termination dispute arbitration, and held workshops and presentations at leading industry conferences. Ian’s project experience also extends to related economic issues such as network externalities and international roaming.
Ian holds an M.Phys. in Physics from the University of Oxford.

Regulators considering if, when, or how to regulate mobile termination (MT) face a multitude of issues and a variety of reference points from other countries. At the same time, the mobile market continues to evolve, 3G networks are being launched and traditional market boundaries become increasingly blurred.
