Licensing Support
Regulatory liberalisation and technological development have
created unprecedented opportunities in the telecommunications
market. Radio technology provides a cost effective and quick
solution for infrastructure or access services and is essential
where mobility is needed. However, this requires access to
appropriate radio spectrum through transparent and fair licensing
processes and the implemention of policies to ensure efficient
allocation and use of the spectrum. We can help regulators to
develop such policies and we can help operators to navigate the
resulting processes.
Regulator Support
We have been active in supporting national and regional
regulators in their efforts to promote competition and introduce new
services and technology. Key areas where we can provide consultancy
support are in spectrum licensing, pricing of radio spectrum and
strategic reviews.
Spectrum licensing
Aegis can help in all the steps leading to licence award. We can
provide the necessary technical and market expertise needed to:
- develop relevant questions for initial consultations and
presentations
- analyse responses, identify important issues, develop
strategies to address these issues and prepare follow-on
consultations and targeted meetings
- develop sections of the licence tender documents
- analyse responses to tender documents, where licences are to
be awarded by a beauty contest or a mix of auction and beauty
contest
We have recently been involved in such activities on behalf of
regulators in the UK, Ireland and Venezuela, addressing major new
licensing initiatives such as third-generation mobile and fixed
wireless access.
Spectrum management
Aegis can help you develop policies and methodologies for
spectrum management such as spectrum valuation, trading and pricing.
We have well-established links with economic consultancies which
allow us to cover all aspects – from spectrum engineering and
frequency management to economic, policy and market issues. We have
first-hand experience of developing approaches and methodologies for
pricing of fixed links and mobile spectrum.
We can benchmark your ‘business’ against other
administrations and the requirements of the forthcoming Framework
Directives or we can undertake a bespoke study to examine specific
issues that may be of concern to you.
Operator Support
Licence applications
Aegis can provide support for operators in licence applications
by providing:
- Pre-licence application studies for internal use or for input
to the administration to support requests for access to new
frequency bands.
- Strategy workshops that address areas such as the regulatory
framework, technological and market issues, competition and
entry strategies.
- Advice on regulatory issues and support in lobbying the
administration, responding to consultations, and attending
industry groups.
- Project management and support of the bid process or parts
thereof such as the technical and marketing responses.
