The report is a product of the Third Colloquium on the changing role of government in an era of telecom deregulation. The Colloquium was held at ITU headquarters from 9-11 November 1994 under the Chairmanship of David Leive. The Colloquium considered a variety of issues arising from the proposed new global mobile personal communications systems using non-geostationary satellites. Funding was provided by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation of Germany. Its analysis should be directly relevant to national regulatory bodies and private businesses involved in this new and growing field of global wireless telecommunications. The Colloquium represents an important continuing initiative to consider, in an informal, expert and practical way, some of the fundamental issues of telecommunications regulation that arise from today's fast-changing telecommunications environment. The Colloquium is non-governmental in nature, privately financed, and brings together, in their individual capacities, high level officials and experts from a diverse range of countries. The Report's practical advice is designed to be of immediate benefit to policy makers, regulators and business communities in developed and developing countries alike. The First colloquium met in Geneva in February, 1993, with funding provided by the New ITU Association of Japan, and considered a range of options for national telecom regulatory institutions and processes. The Second Colloquium met in Geneva in December 1993, with funding by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation of Germany, and considered how regulators can promote universal service and facilitate the application of innovations in telecommunications. The Reports of the first two Colloquia were translated into French, Spanish, and Arabic, and distributed to all members of the ITU, as well as others. They attracted widespread interest and have been put to widespread use. The Second Colloquium had concluded that the colloquia filled a genuine need and that the innovative format and approach had proven sound and should continue. In view of his dynamic and imaginative leadership and with the unanimous support of the colloquium participants, the Secretary-General asked David Leive to continue as permanent Chairman of the colloquia. In his invitation to the Third Chairman's Report, the Secretary-General concluded. "I want to reiterate the importance I place on innovative devices such as the colloquia that can provide help to the telecommunications community throughout the world who must deal with the complex challenges that arise inexorably from changing industry structures, evolving economic policies and new technologies". Copies of the Chairman's Report are available free of charge from the Office of the Secretary General (telefax +41 22 730 5137). The Report is also available on Internet.
