Telecommunications
Overview

The telecommunications industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace.  Technological advances, extreme competition and an ever-changing regulatory environment mean that companies within the industry must continue to evolve.  Management must evaluate not only where their companies are today, but also what business model changes are necessary to compete over the next five to ten years.  Should the company build a valuable technology from scratch or make a strategic acquisition?  Is the company properly accounting for its assets from both tax and financial reporting perspective?  Has the company’s intellectual property been infringed upon? If so, what is the resulting economic damage?
