We have recently completed a number of license bids. Our most recent success was helping win the license in Rwanda.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONSULTANCY

Ventura works with clients to identify, create and deliver exceptional business improvements, ventures and deals based on our track record of success and experience in these areas.

we can deliver faster
we avoid errors – we’ve seen most things before and we’ve learned!

our teams understand the right answer and how to implement it

clients meet the people that will be delivering – rather than seeing Partners once a month who push work down to very junior staff.

Our experience means we are asked to tackle the toughest questions - designing, building and optimising businesses across fixed and mobile operations.

We recently held a workshop on business strategy and business case developments at the FTTH Council event in Lisbon. You can download the slides here.

We will be at the Broadband Global Congress in Dubai. As well as chairing sessions, we will be involved in two panels and holding a full day, pre-conference workshop on business strategy and case development across broadband technologies. Contact richard@venturateam.com to meet up.

Our team members have:

board level experience across Europe, the Gulf and Africa

carried out the first mobile network sharing project

developed our own startup now with 80k subscribers (100meg for residential customers) and 750k homes passed (including WiMAX, xDSL and fibre)

worked for the FTTH Council and GSM-A as well as operators, regulators, utilities and investors

worked on the technical, strategic and commercial aspects of the largest WiMAX deployment in EMEA

SPECIAL FOCUS

80,000 subscribers in our own FTTH/broadband operator

Our Swedish startup has reached 80,000 subscribers with residential users enjoying 100 meg symmetric services and around 750,000 homes being passed overall with FTTX, xDSL and WiMAX.

This underlines our pragmatic approach to helping utilities, operators and regulators as we are facing and conquering the same challenges as many of our clients.

NETWORK SHARING

We are talking to a number of operators about network sharing. We have experience of having managed the first network sharing project in mobile and the team is now working on optimising our approach.

EMBEDDED MOBILE

Ventura worked with the GSMA to assess the market for non-handset devices to identify new growth opportunities for the mobile industry in embedded mobile.

The study identified the potential for significant new opportunities although there remain significant barriers in the form of value chain and application fragmentation. A summary of the key findings and proposed GSMA strategy can be found here.
