Network Industries Strategies
The country’s major network industries - telecommunications, electric power, energy and transportation - face major strategic and tactical challenges when transitioning from heavily regulated to more competitive environments. Such companies often find themselves in pricing disputes before state and federal regulatory agencies, arbitration panels and mediators or in disputes with other regulated companies over damages. To assist in these matters, FTI develops complex costing and damage models and performs valuations of regulated businesses.
These changing environments also create opportunities. FTI helps its clients capitalize on those opportunities by assisting them with strategic planning, including market entry analysis and competitive analysis, and with evaluating investment opportunities.
Mergers and acquisitions have become commonplace as regulated companies struggle to reposition themselves in changing markets. These transactions often are closely scrutinized by the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and federal and state regulators. FTI quantifies public and private merger benefits, analyzes potential effects on competitors and customer groups, and assists companies in responding to requests for information from government entities.
When companies are involved in anti-trust proceedings, FTI prepares detailed studies of decisions that were made, the facts supporting those decisions, and the quantitative effects on competition.
