Market Research and Risk Assessment

A need for affordable, sustainable broadband service, exists, to varying degrees, in every country on earth. But differences in demographics, evolving regulatory regimes, and location-specific market conditions can leave companies uncertain about the potential profit of the deployment, and reluctant to deploy. Moreover, changing political and economic environments can alter the risk profile for broadband companies and present new challenges which broadband providers and technology companies must be able to foresee and address.

Vernonburg Group’s policy expertise and experience deploying broadband in dozens of countries across the world give us a unique ability to consider the specific needs and considerations a company faces, advise companies on markets that represent the best untapped opportunities for success, and to help organizations understand how to respond to evolving risks and external threats.
