THE TMT SECTOR LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING PROFOUNDLY
National telecoms markets are no longer defined by former monopoly incumbent operators. New types of players have emerged 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)
- High-tech Trade Associations
- Public Administrations at EU, national and regional level.
