Media, IT & Telecommunications

BPPA has wide-ranging experience of working in the media and ICT sectors, with several of our senior staff having held senior positions within the media world.

BPPA works for several companies on political, regulatory and government procurement issues in the media and technology space.  We advise eBay, the world's largest e-commerce business, as well as O2, one of the world's leading mobile telecommunications companies.

We have advised a global IT consulting firm on their first UK public sector contract, and supported a leading manufacturer and supplier of telecommunications and IT equipment and services during a period of crisis.  We have provided strategic and tactical advice to a UK telecommunications company on a lobbying campaign to increase competition in the broadband market.

We have also worked for a terrestrial TV channel, the leading satellite broadcaster and one of the sectoral regulators. Major issues in which we have been involved include:

  • the Communications Act 2003
  • the £4bn NHS National Programme for IT
  • access and development of the UK broadband market
  • ongoing ICT regulatory issues 
  • a range of government IT procurement programmes
