ITU releases a major report on regulation in the
information and communication technology (ICT) sector !
|
The annual Trends in Telecommunication Reform publications
are a key part of our dialogue with the world’s information
and communications technology (ICT) policy-makers and
regulators.
-
The 10th edition will look at the delicate balance that regulators need to
strike in order to operate between the hands-on and the hands-off approach to
regulation. This balance is required to meet the expectations of key ICT
stakeholders and is critical to stimulating growth in a converged environment.
The blurring of boundaries between the once-separate telecom, Internet,
broadcasting and media worlds is bringing new players to the arena, driving new
opportunities and challenges. At the same time, regulatory authorities more than
ever have a key role to play in fostering a safe and healthy ICT sector while
meeting social goals, especially in a time of economic and financial
uncertainty.
