Goals / objectives
Continue work to ensure full, fair and sustainable competition in telecommunications, bringing global benefits to users and business as users and providers of communications services . Urge business priority that services, including Internet based services are treated in a light touch fashion and regulation is avoided, wherever possible. This includes ensuring they remain classified as competitive, value-added services instead of basic services Ensure that communication service providers’ cooperation with law enforcement is consistent with technical and business realities, and with customer confidence. Promote liberalization of trade and markets in telecoms and information technology to WTO and other international organizations and actors Ensure that the technical aspects of network development continue to support the development and delivery of innovative products and services over the Internet Advocate for conditions that guarantee a competitive environment exists for the provision of converging services and that proportionate regulatory frameworks are only put in place where competition is not present.
