Monitoring mobile internet access competitiveness in Europe and OECD countries COMPETITIVE & PROFITABLE MOBILE INTERNET ACCESS Founded in 2009, Rewheel is a Helsinki based boutique management consultancy specialising into strategies to meet Europe’s open mobile internet connectivity needs. Our clients are progressive mobile operators (network operators and MVNOs), sector regulators, as well as various companies and investors of Europe’s emerging digital economy. Our expertise covers competition, technology, spectrum, economic, financial modelling and regulatory aspects of the 'digital fuel' - ubiquitous open mobile internet connectivity. COMPETITIVENESS & PROFITABILITY FROM THE FINNISH PERSPECTIVE Among Rewheel's clients are the Finnish telecom and media regulatory authority as well as leading Finnish mobile operators. Finland has among the lowest mobile internet usage prices, the highest mobile data consumption per capita (over ten times higher than Germany's), the highest mobile broadband population penetration, as well as among the fastest mobile broadband networks and best 4G/LTE coverage. All mobile operators in Finland abide by strict net neutrality principles: operators do not apply vertical price-discriminations. Despite the mass-affordable open mobile internet offers and very heavy mobile data traffic the Finnish telecom sector generates healthy returns for its investors (16% ROCE for the market leader operator). INDEPENDENCE AND INTEGRITY Rewheel is fully independent from dominant telecom companies, equipment vendors and their industry lobby organisations such as GSMA, ETNO or ECTA. Our independence and integrity is demonstrated by the strong and straightforward, pro-competition public positions taken in top business media such as the Financial Times, Reuters, Bloomberg, European Voice or the Wall Street Journal. We are often quoted on the hottest industry topics - in 2014 it is whether telecom and competition regulators should allow in-market consolidations leading to higher operator profits or the opposite: promote stronger infrastructure and spectrum based competition, leading to faster networks and more affordable mobile connectivity prices for consumers and higher utilisation of scarce spectrum resources. Our consulting firm's small size and financial independence allows us to be selective on our engagements. If a client's objectives are in conflict with our general pro-competitive stand point, we do not undertake the project. ONLY SENIOR CONSULTANTS Rewheel is privately owned by its founders Antonios Drossos (managing partner, Linkedin profile) and Pál Zarándy (senior partner, Linkedin profile).
