Competition policy and dispute support
With the growing strength of competition and the increasing convergence of the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors, competition, dispute and merger cases in the telecommunications sector have increased in importance. Furthermore, the diminishing application of ex ante regulation has led to a greater need for ex post controls over the behaviour of companies within the sector.
At the same time, there is increasing debate about the most appropriate market structure to ensure the maximum sustainable benefits for consumers from the provision of valuable and desirable content over next generation platforms.
Frontier has extensive experience in all major areas of competition policy and analysis, including market definition and competition assessment, merger analysis, abuse of market power, horizontal and vertical agreements and state aid.
Frontier is therefore able to bring together competition policy expertise with an in-depth understanding of telecommunications and broadcasting markets to assist clients on a variety of assignments.
Questions we are often asked include:
Should a four to three merger in the mobile sector proceed?
What are the costs associated with wholesale and retail broadband provision and are margins being squeezed?
What is the impact on mobile competition if on-net and off-net tariffs differ?
What costs should a bitstream access charge cover?
Does the provision of content over the internet raise competition concerns?
What are the merits of a damage claim related to the acquisition of a mobile operator?
