For countries to develop the telecommunications
they need, they are obliged to solve an array of problems, whether of
a technical, economic, or legal nature. Regulation may therefore be
defined as the set of formal solutions (policies and technical
regulations) adopted in each country to carry out any
telecommunications activity. The telecommunications development
policies adopted will depend on the economic model chosen by a
country.
Since the regulations adopted in a country
correspond to solutions addressing the interests of diverse sectors
and their needs, it may be said that all regulatory matters must be
examined in terms of different sectors, such as the state, the
regulator, the operator, and the users.
Given the importance of this topic, the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Center of
Excellence for the Americas Region, through the Excellence Network
Node and the CITEL Regional Training Center: the National Institute
for Telecommunication Research and Training of Peru (INICTEL), are
offering the international course: “Regulation in the
Telecommunications Sector,” which is geared to planners, directors,
managers, and decision-makers in the regulatory area. Its purpose is
to give a broad overview of the principal technical, economic, legal,
and development-policy aspects of telecommunications activities.
Participants will be able to examine the conceptual bases of
regulation and of the evolution of rules in order to introduce
appropriate and effective regulatory changes in their countries.
It is abundantly clear from numerous
recommendations and documents of international organizations that
telecommunication activities require the ongoing application of clear,
specific regulations. The intention here, therefore, is not to
describe the regulatory framework of specific regulations but rather
to methodically examine the following: Which components are included
in telecommunications regulation? Which areas call for the adoption
and application of regulations?
Among the topics to be covered in this course,
scheduled for October 2005, are: the technical and conceptual
explanation of public telecommunications networks and services, the
organization of telecommunications activities, the establishment of
plans for developing services and the feasibility of their
implementation, fulfillment of the goals and objectives of the
development of telecommunications networks and services, strategic
plans of operators and of the state for the development and
enforcement of regulations, the influence of technological change on
the development of regulations, and global and regional regulatory
trends.
