TJA-l on vaja tururegulatsioonialaste otsuste tegemiseks ajakohast ja usaldusväärset konsolideeritud ja analüüsitud teavet erinevatest telekommunikatsioonivaldkonna arengutest. 2. TJA-le on esitanud vastava analüüsi tegemiseks 2018 aastaks pakkumuse konsultatsioonifirma Cullen International http://www.cullen-international.com/ hinnaga 10500 eurot käibemaksuta ; 3. TJA on 2015 ja 2016 läbi viinud lihthanked, millele ei ole esitatud teisi pakkumusi; 4. Komisjon on analüüsinud teiste konsultatsiooni ja uuringufirmade pakutavaid teenuseid, sh IDC Telecom & Networks - https://www.idc.com/prodserv/idc_telnet.jsp , B2B Interntional - https://www.b2binternational.com/publications/competitor-intelligence/ , Analaysis Mason - http://www.analysysmason.com/Services/Consulting/Regulation/ , Strategy Analytics - https://www.strategyanalytics.com/access-services/service-providers#.WifSk00UmmT ja analüüs näitas, et e eltoodud analüüsifirmad on oma spetsialiseerumisel kitsamad (hõlmavad ainult osa TJA-le vajalikust teabest) ja spetsiifilised, orienteeritud eelkõige äriklien tide segmendile ja jaetasandile; 5. Komisjon on tutvunud ka Eesti uuringu- ja konsultatsioonifirmade, nagu näiteks EMOR http://www.emor.ee/ ja ETA Monitooring http://www.monitooring.ee ning PWC Estonia https://www.pwc.com/ee/et.html pakutavate teenustega. Ükski nimetatud firmad ei paku regulaarseid ja päevakohaseid analüüse ja teavet Euroopa telekommiregulatsiooni seadusandluste muudatuste ja rakendamiste praktika kohta (sh andmeid kõigi EL sideturu regulaatorite otsuste kohta). o tsustas: 6. Kuna Cullenil International on ainsana regulaatoritele (riigiasutustele) suunatud analüüsi segment piisava põhjalikkuse ja ulatusega: EL seadusandluse, sh alamaktid, nende rakendamine liikmesriikides, 28 liikmesriigi sideregulatsiooni analüüs, riikide järelevalve analüüs, ELs toimuvate telekommunikatsioonialaste poliitiliste arengute analüüs (eelläbirääkimised), EU riikide sideturgude analüüs ja nende alusel prognooside koostamine, EL sideteenuste hulgitasandi regulatsiooni praktika , kuulutada Cullenil International pakkumus edukaks ja valmistada ette vastav leping.
