Therefore, Certainty and Sustainability are the two key drivers
of long term Broadband infrastructure investment+
� Regulatory Frameworks
• Rational License Pricing (capital intensity, profitability) and Industry Specific Taxation (consumer purchasing
power)
• Convergence Regulation approach (eg. Fixed & Mobile RMS, TV, Digital Services/OTT/SSSR, Spectrum Neutrality,
Carriage vs Content)
� Return on Investment
• Sustainable market structures and supportive Regulation such as Spectrum Pooling / Trading, Active NetCo,
Mergers/Consolidation Rules
� Access to Capital
• Liquidity and depth of Local Capital Markets (access to debt and equity)
• Currency (monetary policy) stability and hedging instruments (risk management)
� Ability to Launch New Services
• Certainty of Spectrum Availability and Allocation (450/700/800MHz and 1500/2300/2600/3600/5000MHz,
800-900MHz and 2400MHz ISM for IoT / LTE-U) for LTE, IoT and 5G
• FinTech related licensing for telecom operators (payments, deposits, remittances, insurance)
• Spectrum Re-farming / Neutrality for upgrading to more efficient (lower cost, higher performance) technologies
