The meeting brought together more than 90 participants, including 30 women, from 38 countries representing telecommunication-related Ministries, regulatory agencies, sector members and regional organizations. The meeting focused on current challenges in enforcing telecommunications law, policy and regulations. There were several high-level presentations highlighting different national experiences in the power to enforce, enforcement practices (monitoring, inspections and sanctions), and general enforcement in areas such as spectrum, license obligations, interconnection, VoIP and dispute resolution. Participants underscored the need to continue discussions on this broad but very important subject and to develop tools and guidelines to assist regulators in enforcing their decisions, and in using to the extent possible alternative dispute resolution procedures. The discussions of the seminar were fed into the ITU-D Rapporteur Group on Question 18/1 which was held on the two following days. For more information on the seminar, consult the documents link.
