Acing the regulatory exam

Integrated telcos undergoing separation/asset reconfiguration must carefully balance several factors, not least of which is regulation. The regulatory benefits from asset reconfiguration strongly depend on: (1) the type of separation model being adopted, (2) strategic resolutions spelled out in the master service agreement (MSA) between separated entities, and (3) local regulations. Consequently, there must be a careful assessment at all decision-making levels to “ace” the regulatory exam.
