   • Advise on the necessary steps to achieve regulatory approval for the transaction across different jurisdictions.
4. Preliminary Integration Planning:
   • In conjunction with project partners, develop preliminary integration plans for the merging of technological systems and infrastructure, including international networks and sub-sea cable systems.
