Regulatory Practice

National regulators have never been busier.

Whether you are developing policies for the new IP-based telecommunications environment, grappling with unbundling or net neutrality, reviewing your regulatory processes to comply with WTO requirements, or building cost models to level the playing field between incumbents and new entrant operators, our expert team at BWCS can assist you.
"I can confirm that BWCS Ltd was engaged by PTS during 2007 and 2008 to undertake the revision of the Hybrid Model for the Fixed Network in Sweden. We found their work to be of a high standard and would recommend the company for similar projects."
