Shepherd and Wedderburn sponsors Broadband Stakeholder Group event

Today, the Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG) welcomes key figures in the UK telecoms market to their conference “Competition in a converged world”.

In a series of keynote speeches and panel discussions, the event will explore major competition issues surrounding the future of the UK telecoms market and aims to answer the following questions: 

• What are the benefits and challenges of converging networks? 
• Which competition models are viable and beneficial for the end-user?
• How to balance innovation and regulation? 

Leading UK law firm, Shepherd and Wedderburn, which has extensive experience and an exceptional client-base in the telecommunications, media and technology (TMT) sector, are sponsors of the London event. Gordon Moir, who heads up the firm’s TMT regulatory team, will chair a discussion on ‘Service or infrastructure level competition’ with panel speakers from leading telecoms providers, including Virgin Media, Vodafone, TalkTalk and BT.

Moir, who is considered a global leader in the provision of regulatory and anti-trust support, commented: “This event provides a superb opportunity to discuss key competition questions which are dominating the strategic reviews taking place at both the UK and EU level. I am looking forward to exchanging opinions and leading an interesting debate.”
