Implementation of the
Inter-American MRA is now underway. By the end of 2004, there will be
seven member states participating in Phase I procedures. There are two
member states participating in Phase II procedures. At the V PCC.I
meeting held in August 2004, it was decided to hold a workshop on the
MRA in 2005 in the United States. The National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) of the US will organize this workshop with the
CITEL Secretariat. PCC.I will seek funding from the United States
Telecom Training Institute to sponsor regulators from member states to
attend this workshop. Experts from PCC.I had been invited to give
presentations on the MRA at the Seminar of the Caribbean Telecom Union
to be held in September 2004 in Barbados. The purpose of the MRA
workshop is to provide information and advices to regulators and
administrators of member states to assist them in the planning and
implementation of the MRA. The presentation to the Caribbean member
states is one of the ongoing efforts of PCC.I to provide information
on the MRA to the various regions of CITEL.
