Telecommunications and IT Sector Policy

One of the Orbita Group’s consulting strengths is Sector Policy, blending skills in economics, technology and the law to produce regulatory and public policy. This practice specializes in developing competition policy and appropriate regulatory frameworks, with extensive experience on matters related to telecom, broadcasting, “new media”  and spectrum markets. Clients have included regulatory commissions, PTTs, a number of government authorities overseas, and a broad variety of private and public companies in countries around the world.

Throughout the years, this practice has provided extensive expertise to companies in network industries in all fundamental areas pertaining to business planning, market forecasting, pricing strategy, policy analysis, economic and financial evaluation, expert testimony and litigation support, technology assessment, and network deployment.

Orbita also advises government agencies, policymakers, ministries and regulatory authorities overseas. In this regard, our work focuses largely on sector reform, regulatory framework, competition policy, licensing procedures, tariff policies, legal proceedings and legislative support.

In today’s complex industry, any regulatory or public policy initiative requires a multi-dimensional approach that must balance broad functional areas of expertise. The firm distinguishes itself in combining insights from multiple disciplines to develop tightly reasoned business solutions and policy thrusts. Orbita’s work reflects a comprehensive knowledge of markets, commercial drivers, technology advances, and economic trends, as well as the concerns of public policymakers and consumer advocacy groups.
