Today's leading edge Information, Communications & Entertainment (ICE) companies are creating the foundation for a networked global economy - a revolutionary business environment that offers unprecedented opportunities for new enterprises and the means for established organizations to generate extraordinary growth and shareholder value. KPMG in Bahrain is organized to bring you ICE industry professionals serving Electronics, Software, Communications or Media & Entertainment clients.

Two key drivers, convergence and the fight for access to the homes and businesses of customers, are pushing many of the trends in both wireline and wireless communications services around the world. Despite declining prices in many areas, the outlook for the communications industry is positive.

Although growth opportunities are plentiful, the market will require current communications service providers to significantly reconstruct their business models. At KPMG in Bahrain we are able to appreciate the pressure points you face:

• Competition from traditional and non-traditional players
• Customer acquisition and retention
• Consolidation and convergence
• Globalization
• Strategic alliances and joint ventures
• Privatization and deregulation
• Product and technology choices
• Customer demand for new and improved products and services, and
• Shareholder value
