Telecommunications is firmly at the forefront of social and business change in the twenty-first century.
Smart phones, VoIP and wireless broadband continue to gain momentum and will continue to spawn new operators and service models. And this is in addition to the huge changes to the industry and services that will come with the roll-out of the National Broadband Network (NBN).
Companies will face continued technological changes and growing regulatory pressures.
Our specialist technology and telecommunications lawyers provide a depth of experience and understanding of key trends and emerging issues facing telecommunications operators.
We provide focused, practical and tailored advice on areas such as:
- regulatory
- consumer protection and contracting obligations
- wholesale and rental contracts and agreements
- product terms and conditions
- standard forms of agreement (SFOA)
- convergence
- outsourcing
- regulations
- mergers and acquisitions
- regulatory training for wholesalers and franchisees
- infrastructure sharing, and
- emerging markets and next-generation services.
We’ve been working with a number of clients on the impacts of the proposed NBN on their business and in particular, on the implications of the NBN enabling legislation (both in its draft forms and as finally passed).
Most importantly, we understand how all the pieces fit together and we use our broad industry knowledge to help our clients navigate the matrix.
