Policy and regulation

Spectrum Value Partners works on both sides of the policy and regulation debate: we help regulators and ministers to develop, evaluate, implement and revise public policy and to establish regulatory frameworks; and we assist companies in evaluating regulatory policy and refining business strategies, informed by the evolving regulatory structure.

Our experience includes policy reviews in the context of changing technologies and market trends, drafting long-term regulatory roadmaps and formulating the principles upon which Codes of Practice are based.  We provide advice across a wide range of telecoms and media regulatory issues including ownership regulations, access policy, competition rules and market definitions, tariff rebalancing, USO, content standards, spectrum planning management, frequency allocation including auctions, number portability, digital clustering and cost benefit analysis.

Recent clients include regulators such as TRA (Bahrain), HKBA (Hong Kong), Ofcom (UK), MDA (Singapore) and TRAI (India); ministries such as DfES, DTI, DCMS (UK), MCH (New Zealand), MICA (Singapore), and Telecoms Ministry (Sri Lanka); and companies as varied as Alcatel, the BBC, the British Library, Cable & Wireless, DiGi, ITV, NBC, O₂, Television New Zealand and Vodafone.
