Telecommunications

In a rapidly-changing environment, telecommunications operators are facing the challenges of growth, convergence, technological changes and increasing regulatory pressures. Ernst & Young’s Global Telecommunications Center brings together a worldwide team of professionals to help you achieve your potential — a team with deep technical experience in providing assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. The Center works to anticipate market trends, identify the implications and develop points of view on relevant industry issues. Ultimately it enables us to help you meet your goals and compete more effectively. It’s how Ernst & Young makes a difference.

The telecommunications market, including satellite, wireless, wireline, internet and cable communication service providers, has undergone severe setbacks and dramatic changes in recent years. Yet, the industry finds itself at the dawn of a new and even more competitive and exciting age, with tremendous opportunities and challenges lying ahead. Financial indicators are improving globally in most sectors of the telecommunications market. Could telecommunications finally have reached the point of turnaround?

A strong pricing competition in the fixed lines business on the one hand, and increasing market penetration of mobile phone communication on the other, have characterized the past.

In the coming years, new products will have to attract new customers, while clear market strategies will be necessary to distinguish a company from its competitors. Only by these means, communication companies will be able to increase traffic on the wireline network and to promote 3G services – and at the same time increase utilization of the wireless infrastructure.
