Quality of Service (QoS) Regulation

​​​Citizens throughout the world rely on ICTs to conduct their everyday socio-economic activities which call upon quality of services. Ensuring QoS in this environment is therefore becoming critical. Telecommunication networks are interconnected on a national, regional, and global basis, and the quality of telecommunication services applied in one network or one country influences the end-to-end quality of that service, so the quality cannot be considered only at national or regional level, but also needs to be considered global.  A harmonized and common approach to regulating QoS would enable greater quality prospects irrespective of the locations of the consumer and service provider.

QoS Manual

The QoS Regulation Manual serves as a one-stop shop for QoS regulation in ICTs. It refers to different standards and regulatory practices from various regions and countries worldwide.
It is intended to be used as a guiding tool for telecommunication/ICT regulatory agencies or ICT Administration (e.g., ICT Ministry) in charge of Quality of service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) parameters and measurements, as defined by the ITU-T, as well as enforcement mechanisms.
