Telecom Regulation & Policy: Spectrum, Competition & Access
In telecom the regulator sets the board the game is played on — both sides do better when both sides understand the rules’ intent, not just their text.

Every material telecom decision — pricing, coverage, spectrum, consolidation — passes through a regulatory lens. This programme teaches that lens from both chairs: spectrum management from allocation to auction design to refarming; competition regulation — dominance, interconnection, wholesale access — and the remedies that actually change markets; universal access obligations and the funds that finance them, with what has genuinely worked; and the operating relationship: licence obligations, quality-of-service enforcement, and the consultation processes where positions are won. For regulator staff it is a practitioner grounding; for operator staff, the map of the other side’s reasoning.
What you will do

Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.Spectrum
- Allocation and licensing: the national table and its politics
- Auction design: formats, reserve prices, the failures to avoid
- Refarming and renewal: value captured or destroyed
II.Competition
- Market analysis and dominance: findings that survive appeal
- Interconnection and wholesale access: pricing the bottleneck
- Consolidation: when fewer operators serve customers better — and when not
III.Obligations and enforcement
- Universal access: obligations, funds and what has actually worked
- Quality of service: measurement, publication, penalties
- The consultation game: evidence, positions, credibility over time
Frequently asked
What does the telecom curriculum cover?
The commercial and leadership side of the operator business: telecom strategy, digital leadership, branding and customer engagement, customer focus, business analytics and big data for managers, and negotiation for technology deals. Participants leave able to build a segment strategy, read their own customer data critically, and close the deals that data supports.
Are the programmes aimed at commercial or technical teams?
Commercial and leadership teams first — strategy, marketing, customer experience and analytics leaders in operators moving beyond connectivity revenue. No network-engineering background is required; the programmes work on the decisions those teams own, not the equipment.
In which languages and formats do telecom programmes run?
English and French, delivered in the classroom, as live virtual cohorts or in hybrid format. Any programme can also run in-house for a single operator, tailored to its market and competitive position.
