Intelecon focuses on emerging markets and the developing world and has worked in over 50 countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the central and eastern European region.

As a result of these projects, we possess valuable insights, contacts and hands-on-experience in these markets, and in particular in:

• economics, market & commercial issues
• technology and networks
• policy and regulatory issues

Dealing with telecommunications issues in emerging markets and developing countries poses, in some respects, challenges which are similar to those of the rural market, though on a larger scale:

• making telecommunications viable and maximising revenues in lower income countries and regions
• identifying restrictions and opportunities in different regulatory environments where telecom services are not yet fully liberalised
• understanding other technology requirements as well as a different usage patterns
• designing policies which take care of specific national needs and affordability issues, yet advancing network and service expansion in a liberalising environment
