The ITU Regional Regulatory Forum for Europe on “Regulation Supporting the Digital Transformation” was organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with the support of Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services of Montenegro (EKIP).
The Forum, originally planned in Budva, Montenegro, at the kind invitation of the Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services of Montenegro (EKIP), took place virtually from 30 November to 1 December 2020. This Forum was organized within the framework of the ITU European Regional Initiative on Broadband Infrastructure, broadcasting and spectrum management adopted by the ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference 2017 (WTDC-17).
In follow up to the outcomes of the Global Symposium for Regulators 2020 (GSR-20) and the
GSR-20 Best Practice Guidelines, this event provided a unique opportunity for high-level dialogue between stakeholders on strategies and policies directed towards collaborative generation five regulation (G5 regulation) to foster the deployment of high-speed networks sustaining the digital transformation.
Particular focus was given to:
• Global and Regional Regulatory Approaches to Regulation supporting the Digital Transformation;
• Mapping Systems as a tool for Collaborative Regulation;
• Broadband Mapping Systems in EU countries;
• Broadband Mapping Systems in non-EU countries;
• Supporting Investment Opportunity Mapping Systems in South Eastern Europe.
The Regional Regulatory Forum for Europe brought together up to 100 attendees including European policymakers, government officials, international organizations, business leaders, industry experts and academia.
