Regulatory and Policy Best Practices in Emerging Markets Revealed in Pyramid’s New Service

Cambridge, Massachusetts- November 2, 2011- Regulators, ministries and government bodies recognize that ICTs, including Internet and broadband services, will boost development efforts for many regions around the globe including Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East and Asia/Pacific. As a result, a race to harness technology for purposes of improving the lives of rural and urban, rich and poor citizens alike is well underway, according to Sonia Jorge, Research and Consulting Director and Pyramid’s Practice Leader for Regulation & Policy.

“Bridging the digital divide has never been more important for regulators, ministries and government bodies,” says Sonia Jorge. Low- and medium-income countries tend to benefit the most from broadband developments, yet access in these countries is inhibited by factors that remain perennial problems such as lack of infrastructure, pricing and low ICT literacy. “Regulatory tools and policy guidelines are but one important step on the way to achieving universal access target, and our presentation highlights how public-private partnerships can be a successful option to implement those goals,” she adds.
