Course Description:

'' This new programme is designed to enhance the strategic thinking of a select group of senior decision-makers in telecom and related sectors in Africa and elsewhere. After having been offered in Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America, this executive programme is now being offered in Africa to meet the challenges it faces in this sector. The aim of the programme is to address the many challenges posed by the current stage of telecom and ICT reform to governments, regulatory agencies, operators, and other stakeholders. The certainties of yesterday are no more: traditional approaches to the licensing of networks and services is being challenged by converging technologies services and innovative business models; individual assignments of frequencies are being questioned in the light of new standards such as Wi-Fi and WiMax; the distinctions between wired and wireless are being blurred; classic price regulation is becoming less central to the missions of regulatory agencies; new pro-poor business strategies challenging conventional universal service models; and all industry players are being challenged to address content issues at various levels.

Programme benefits:

Delegates will learn how to respond to to the growing demands on the regulatory process and agencies, with the same resources.
Policy makers will gain the knowledge of developments within the sector to think in alternative ways about creating enabling environment for development and growth.
Regulators will be provided with alternative approaches to regulation, particularly in developing countries with resource constraints, to facilitate more effective regulation.
Operators will gain a deeper understanding of the regulatory process so that they can navigate its complexities.
With telecom assuming a more prominent position in economies and societies, civil society and media can learn how to equip themselves to participate in its governance.
Knowledge on how to deal with these new challenges is vital
The opportunity to reflect on these issues in the company of peers and away from the daily demands of the office environment is essential.
As part of the University of Cape Town�Infrastructure Management Programme the course will be offered by LIRNE.net a global collaboration of applied research and training entities specialising in ICT policy and regulation. ...''
