ITU issues regulation guidelines on IP networksThe International Telecommunications Union has issued guidelines for market regulators and governments dealing with issues surrounding the development of next-generation, IP-based networks. NGN networks is the subject of the ITU’s annual report on trends in the ICT sector, this year entitled Trends in Telecommunication Reform: the Road to NGN. The report contains ten chapters on various issues facing policymakers, including an overview of the current ICT market and regulatory environment and an analysis of various technologies associated with IP networks. The ITU advises government to support and encourage the development of IP networks, particularly in developing countries where new (wireless) IP-based technologies can help countries quickly achieve their development goals. The report was released at an ITU Council meeting, which also outlined objectives for the upcoming Connect Africa summit planned for October in Kigali.
