Cable Partners seeks out opportunities where we can
partner with local companies to provide communications services.
We recognize the importance of our local partners. Our
aim isn't to dominate the local enterprise, but rather to support it and
grow with the company. We're not a big telephone company that's going to
demand that our joint venture become just another branch. Instead, we
present strategies that provide mutual benefit.
What we bring is:
- Strategic vision
- Vast industry knowledge
- Quality leadership and
people
- Access to a global network
of business development and operations professionals
- Quality and timely
analysis
- Transfer of knowledge
between Callahan Associates and the local partner
- Investors with
complimentary financial goals
On the other hand, we rely on our local partners for:
- Knowledge and
understanding of local and national public policy imperatives
- In-depth understanding of
national and local market requirements
- Connections with local
contracting firms and construction entities
- The ability to secure
rights of way and/or cell site locations
- Access to local and
national distribution channels
From our experience, we know that it takes careful
planning to create a successful communications business. Part of that
planning includes making sure that:
- The partners share a
common vision for the business.
- The partners provide
leadership to the venture.
- Cable Partners and our
business partners provide quality personnel.
- The venture recruits and
keeps quality people.
- Contractors are selected
carefully.
- Strong control systems and
reporting processes are advocated.
- Experts are brought in to
augment Cable Partners and partners in areas like recruitment,
personnel management, network and systems architecture, network and
systems operations, marketing, finance and public policy.
Finally, some of our operational goals are:
- To create and motivate
management teams without excessive expatriate involvement.
- To control costs of
operation and construction.
- To focus on the role of
customer service – creating customer satisfaction and loyalty
is key.
- To avoid unnecessary risk.
- To rapidly deploy a
network of future-proof architecture.
- To serve all addressable
markets as we grow.
- To position the company as
creative an innovative.
- To take advantage of scale
and scope.
- To operate the business
close to the customer with strong local management.
- To quickly transfer
knowledge, creating a true local company.
