Ian Streule joined Analysys Mason in 1997, and has executed, managed and directed a comprehensive range of costing, regulation and spectrum consultancy projects
As a Senior Manager, 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. Ian has also been leading our regulatory costing work in the postal sector, providing advice to the UK postal services regulator on Royal Mail’s cost modelling, cost transparency, compliance of the costing system, and accounting separation.
He has assisted leading regulators with mobile and/or fixed service regulation, including Ofcom (UK), the ACCC (Austrialia) and OPTA (The Netherlands). 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 (France), BIPT (Belgium) and the EETT (Greece).
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. In the field of spectrum support, Ian advised a West European regulator on the value of different 900MHz and 1800MHz re-farming options, and led a high-profile project on the cost of ownership of 2G and 3G M2M mobile modules – also taking into account future spectrum re-farming issues.
Ian has also provided strategic advice in the area of mobile market 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.
