Twenty two participants from across the world, from Fiji to Ecuador and from Brazil to Kyrgyzstan, participated in the course (plus the 1.25 day expert forum of regulators from the SAARC region) at Changi Village Hotel in Singapore, June 10-15, 2008. The topics covered included challenges of NGN and mobile payments, how to make the spectrum management process more efficient and the pros and cons of general competition regulation versus sector-specific regulation. The two keynotes were delivered by Lai Kok Fung, CEO of Buzz City and Sherrill Ismail, senior official at the FCC (speaking in a personal capacity). A more detailed report will be posted shortly.
