Interconnection planning and strategy for an incumbent operator in the Middle East

Swedtel provided the operator, with global interconnect and regulatory experience and skills to prime it for the introduction of future competition.

We were sharing our experience with the operator through implementation and operational tasks. Throughout this process we were acting as advisers, coaches and guides contributing with management, project managers and manpower.

The contract spanned the development and implementation of suitable strategies and work methodologies. We also worked with the customer to prepare its organization for deregulation by establishing the chosen technical interfaces and interconnect product definitions, as well as preparing for managing the regulatory interventions locally, while complying with WTO requirements.

Strategy and methodology

Working closely with the client, we also established the required steering documents; such as interconnect policy documents, account separation and calculation procedures and the headline Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO).

In parallel with forming the strategy and methodology for negotiations with future market entrants, Swedtel also supported and assisted the operator's new interconnect organization.
