THE TELECOMS INDUSTRY LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING PROFOUNDLY

National telecoms market are no longer defined by former monopoly incumbent telcos along with a handful of mobile operators (MNOs).  New types of players have been emerging for a while, leveraging opportunities arising from competitive regulatory frameworks, flexibilisation of licensing regimes and market liberalisation.  


Accelerated by COVID-19 and the pandemic-induced dependence on the Internet connectivity for everything, several forces have converged to reshape the telecoms industry profoundly forcing Governments and regulators (NRAs) to expand broadband (gigabit) connectivity and spectrum to meet capacity upgrades and higher network traffic and resilience.
CERES TMT offers expert regulatory, competition, and commercial legal advice to the following market players :            

-  Internet Service Providers (ISPs)             

-  Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs)           

-  International voice service providers           

-  Independent tower companies 'towercos'           

-  Cable TV companies

Our legal and regulatory services are also of interest to:           

-  Investment funds           

-  National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs)           

-  Trade associations         

-  Public Administrations at EU, national and regional level. 

FORCES OF CHANGE

 "CERES TMT has extensive experience advising telecoms operators, service providers and government agencies on telecoms regulation and competition law.  How these market players react to the post-COVID telecoms changing regulatory framework is critical for them to emerge from this crisis stronger."
