CASE STUDY Sale of spectrum A relatively new concept in the industry is the sale of spectrum not capacity. Given the novelty, there are as yet no commonly-accepted standards for how the contracts should be structured. In this “vacuum” we have developed a contracting model to address some of the complexities and risks. For instance, some sections of spectrum on any given fibre-pair will be more useful than others. In a recent contract upon which we advised, the customer’s spectrum is “virtual” – they are allocated an amount of spectrum equivalent to a given percentage of the total spectrum on a single fibre-pair, but this could be sub-divided into smaller sections of spectrum across several different fibre pairs on the same cable. This then introduces additional concepts – if, for example, there is a problem with one of the fibre-pairs in the cable but not the other, does the customer lose part of their spectrum or does the supplier have an obligation to switch them to the fibre-pair which is still functional? OUR VALUE ADDS We have developed a set of truly innovative project management tools a key feature of which is the Submarine Cable Supply Contract Dashboard. This allows customers to evaluate competing offers from vendors in a simple and objective manner, with a very visual output that ranks contracts according to various weighted criteria. It is designed to be useful in a tender exercise whether for identifying areas to focus on in negotiation, for helping pick a preferred bidder, or for reporting on the progress of negotiations to the board.

  • The Relationship Between Local Content, Internet Development and Access Prices
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL CONTENT, INTERNET DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS PRICES This research is the result of collaboration in 2011 between the Internet Society (ISOC), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The first findings of the research were presented at the sixth annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) that was held in Nairobi, Kenya on 27-30 September 2011. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of ISOC, the OECD or UNESCO, or their respective membership. FOREWORD This report was prepared by a team from the OECD's Information Economy Unit of the Information, Communications and Consumer Policy Division within the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry. The contributing authors were Chris Bruegge, Kayoko Ido, Taylor Reynolds, Cristina Serra- Vallejo, Piotr Stryszowski and Rudolf Van Der Berg. The case studies were drafted by Laura Recuero Virto of the OECD Development Centre with editing by Elizabeth Nash and Vanda Legrandgerard. The work benefitted from significant guidance and constructive comments from ISOC and UNESCO. The authors would particularly like to thank Dawit Bekele, Constance Bommelaer, Bill Graham and Michuki Mwangi from ISOC and Jānis Kārkliņš, Boyan Radoykov and Irmgarda Kasinskaite-Buddeberg from UNESCO for their work and guidance on the project. The report relies heavily on data for many of its conclusions and the authors would like to thank Alex Kozak, Betsy Masiello and Derek Slater from Google, Geoff Huston from APNIC, Telegeography (Primetrica, Inc) and Karine Perset from the OECD for data that was used in the report.
