UTelcos are competitive telecom operators owned by or related to a utility company (power, water, gas, oil, transportation). They usually begin as a group within the utility company in charge of delivering internal communication services. They can then become a competitive telecom operator under the utility-holding company or government entity. Find out the next steps in our Whitepaper.

The Commission is focused on making the world a ‘greener, cleaner’ place. It’s likely to be one of the first of many such initiatives, as other countries pass their own regulations.

It will leave many utilities with a lot to do to comply – and not much time to do it.

- Common equipment can carry both networks simultaneously, lowering capital costs
- A network that can be upgraded, expanded, and enhanced as demands change and new services are added
