Expertise

With its analytical bottom up cost models WIK has developed a tool applicable to a series of regulatory questions.

With WIK’s cost models ‘long run incremental cost’ become operational and can be calculated. Our cost models have been used in several regulatory decisions within different countries. They can be applied to the determination of interconnection rates, the rates for unbundled local loop in traditional copper or new NGA architecture, price control, and calculation of costs of universal service obligations in telecommunications and in posts.

We keep our cost modells up to date according to progress of communications technology.

We use our know how also to design or analyse business cases and for strategic consultancy during planning or developing new business segments in telecommunication markets (e.g. NGA).
