Welcome

Competition, technology and regulation are continually re-shaping the telecommunications business. These changes pose new issues for regulation and create threats and opportunities for business that can have enormous and long-lasting impacts on shareholder value.

John de Ridder is an internationally recognised telecommunications economist with pricing expertise and over 25 years practical experience in dealing with competition and regulation.

With John, your organisation will be able to improve :-

– strategic focus (eg managing price war risk, setting goals for price rebalancing, optimising retail relative to wholesale prices)

– pricing at both retail and wholesale level (eg competitive pricing, commercial pricing under price caps, interconnection pricing)

– regulatory focus (policy advice, drafting submissions etc)

John can meet your requirements with various resourcing options. In addition to being engaged directly, he has sub-contracted to other consulting organisations and has formed teams drawing on his extensive network of industry contacts.





John also represents the Strategic Networks Group in Australia. SNG is a Canadian consultancy with customers in North America and Europe who wish to leverage high-speed broadband networks for economic and social benefits. Since 1998 it has been developing its capacity to help government clients plan for broadband through gap analysis and benchmarking of the deployment of infrastructure and e-solutions.
