09:45 – 10:45 PANEL DISCUSSION LEVERAGING MOBILE GROWTH TO SUPPORT THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF ASIA PACIFIC’S DEVELOPING MARKETS
The mobile sector is having a transformational impact on the societies of emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region. It is creating efficiencies in everyday communication, productivity and knowledge. Communication is more prolific than ever before, with mobile platforms providing a basis for instant social and professional connections.
To facilitate further economic and societal change across the region, in both urban and rural areas, the industry must continue to grow. Effective regulatory-policy making is potentially the most important influencer of growth. Panellists will address some of the services impacting regional development and the actions needed by governments and operators to ensure sustained growth.
What services are driving the socio-economic development of the region?
What can governments do to help support these new business models?
What measures can policy makers from across government departments implement?
