The Global Symposium for Regulators (GSR - #ITUGSR), organized by the International Telecommunications Union (@ITU) is an annual meeting of regulators, where we exchange ideas and best practices, as well as discuss some of the telecom policy issues bothering our different countries. This year’s symposium, held earlier this month in Ankara, brought together telecommunications regulators from around the world to endorse new guidelines, “2026 Best Practice Guidelines: Regulatory Governance Essentials”—an important digital regulation toolkit designed to support regulators as we navigate increasingly complex digital markets and ecosystems. At the symposium, I participated as a panelist in a session titled “Harnessing the Power of Transformative Tech: Regulatory Approaches.” Alongside a distinguished panel of telecommunications regulators and industry experts from across the globe—including Carlos Manuel Baigorri, President of Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL- @AnatelGovBR), Brazil; Philip Marnick, Director General of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA- @TRABahrain), Kingdom of Bahrain; and Donna Bethea-Murphy (@DBetheaMurphy) of Viasat Inc.—we engaged in insightful discussions on the future of telecommunications regulation, particularly how regulatory frameworks can harness the potential of transformative technologies and redefine the meaning of regulatory excellence in an increasingly digital world. It was an opportunity to share what we have been building at the @NgComCommission regulatory system that prioritises data and transparency; how we are moving from data collection to data intelligence, and from mere public transparency to transparency that empowers the consumer and holds the operator more accountable. We shared how our Public Maps, industry statistics, Quarterly Network Performance Reports, and simplified reporting frameworks are helping consumers better understand how their networks serve them, while also enabling the broader digital economy to thrive. During the Forum, at the Regulators’ Roundtable, we deliberated on the evolving role of regulators in fostering and enabling digital markets. I highlighted some of Nigeria’s regulatory priorities which stand out, including how we are strengthening transparency, responsible conduct, and accountability within the internet ecosystem through the Internet Code of Practice (ncc.gov.ng/sites/default/fil…); enhancing the cyber resilience of the telecommunications sector through our Cyber Resilience Framework (ncc.gov.ng/sites/default/fil…); deepening collaboration with other public authorities to promote a unified approach to digital market governance; and shaping an incentive-based telecommunications market, particularly through spectrum and infrastructure regulation. 🔗 ICYMI: Here is a link to our Public Maps: ncc.gov.ng/coverage-map
