Webinar launch: Trends in Telecommunication Reform report
Chat to ITU regulatory experts about the trends shaping global ICT sector
Geneva, 11 April, 2013 – ITU’s
flagship regulatory report, Trends in Telecommunication Reform, provides
a comprehensive annual global snapshot of the fast-evolving ICT regulatory
environment.
This
year, ITU is hosting a global online interactive launch of the latest Trends
report, with a view to engaging with journalists and analysts around the world
with an interest in ICT regulation.
The 13th
edition of Trends focuses on the ‘Transnational Aspects of Regulation in a
Networked Society’. As networks and services increasingly go ‘cross-border’,
ICT policy-makers and regulators find themselves operating in a global context,
where their decisions affect ICT service delivery in other countries, and where
they themselves are impacted by policies adopted by countries nearby – or even
outside their own region.
Regulators can no longer legislate in a ‘domestic vacuum’ – but what new
frameworks are needed to ensure all countries benefit equally from the continued
strong growth in the tech sector?
