For years, we at Detecon have been actively supporting our clients in acquiring and integrating other organizations within the telecommunications industry. Thereby, our consultants have been observing worldwide transaction trends and mergers & acquisitions activities (M&A) in the global telecommunication markets. This “Telco Mergers and Acquisitions Spotlight” will highlight these observations from the past year and provide strategic insights into the most recent market developments, present selected use cases and explain the underlying rationale of those mergers. Finally, it will provide an outlook for possible M&A activities in 2019 and beyond. Mergers and acquisitions can be a valuable lever in building new digital business models or facilitating digital transformation. Furthermore, they are commonly used to generate growth, create synergies and reduce risk through diversification. Hence, it is not surprising that during a time characterized by increasing market uncertainty, the year 2018 has seen fewer transactions than in previous years. However, it was a record year for high-value M&A deals which can be seen in a comparison between 2017 and 2018 (Figure 1: Average deal value ($bn), 3Q17 vs.

The proposed amendments will definitely steer the industry to a positive growth required since long so that all stake holders can run their business lawfully, peacefully and profitably. This will also create a better environment to attract new investments in the industry. However, we feel there is a lack of understanding of the way this fragmented and disorganized industry can be brought on track and developed as a national infrastructure. 1 Notwithstanding the above, we are totally in conformity with TRAI on the changes it has proposed regarding distribution of TV channels through authorized agencies and aggregators. However, we are of the opinion this is only the beginning of a positive phase and much more stringent actions are needed on the part of the Regulator, particularly in controlling the ‘Pay’ broadcasters who are the root cause of the disorganized state of the industry.

  • Chapter Six the Arts, Communications Technology and Interactive Multimedia
    99 Chapter Six The Arts, Communications Technology and Interactive Multimedia No aspect of change seems likely to have a greater effect on the way we lead our lives than the implementation of new communications technologies. They are in the process of up-ending the financial, political and cultural shape of the world. The changes already apparent - whether satellite transmission of television programs across oceans and national boundaries, the instantaneous movement of vast funds around the world, or immediate and direct computer access from any country to the catalogues and collections of the world’s richest libraries - only presage even greater transformations over the next decade. The communications networks of the future will offer all manner of new services, depending ultimately on the interests and needs discovered by consumers. In private life, one will be able to draw into one's home film and television fare, recordings, news, educational programs, shopping information, plane and train timetables, theatre programs and reviews. Medical diagnoses can be made from remote points, and medical records placed in databases and easily transferred. Government information can be available on computer screens. Business users could establish complex warehousing and ordering systems, customer charging and payment systems, electronic marketing, continuing financial market updates, all working instantaneously world-wide. Machines, factories, can be controlled from distant places. Such systems already exist. Once again, complexity theory reminds us that at times of such rapid evolutionary change, there are special opportunities to influence events advantageously, and risks through inaction of languishing in an evolutionary cul- de-sac. Official policies in Australia actively support Australian participation in this new world, especially in the production of entertainment, educational and informational program materials.
