TELECOM COSTING WORKSHOP will cover principles and techniques that are relevant to all markets – emerging
economies and countries with higher income and more competition. There will be a focus on the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region, which has huge economic development
opportunities from the deployment of NGN/A and broadband. To encourage investment,regulation and national strategies must be linked and key inputs to decisions are cost insights.
Regulators therefore can benefit from understanding how to measure costs and how this can be used in regulation. Operators need to understand costs and prices to help with their business planning decisions. The MENA region has its own economic and regulatory issues, but the workshop will use the presenters’ global experience such as EU examples and lessons that will emphasize that the economics and techniques are universal: attendees from all parts of the world can benefit equally.
By attending this workshop attendees will be able to learn about:
Cost definitions and measures
Service cost modelling
Infrastructure and wholesale service access
Pricing
Regulation and competition policy
