Regulators will continue to leverage Ookla’s
network insights to help drive digital equity and enable economic
growth in the Middle East and North Africa
Ookla®, an internationally recognized leader in network
measurement and connectivity intelligence, concluded its second
annual Telecommunications Regulatory Summit in the Middle East
& North Africa region, bringing together distinguished
regulators from Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, and Libya.
Co-hosted by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Jordan
(TRC), the event served as a platform for knowledge sharing and
collaboration to shape the future of connectivity in the region.
The event was also attended by Jordan’s Minister of Digital Economy
and Entrepreneurship, HE. Minister Ahmad Hanandeh, Vice Chairman
and Secretary General of TRC Jordan, HE. Dr. Nael Adwan, and Head
of GSMA MENA Jawad Abbasi.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Summit, held earlier this
month, focused on critical topics concerning the state of the
connectivity industry, 5G network developments, the increasing
importance of accurate latency measurements in future-looking use
cases, and broadband planning to close digital divides within the
region. Participating regulators also highlighted how they use
Ookla’s crowdsourced data and insights to inform policy decisions
related to enhanced network performance and improved user
experience.
“Crowdsourcing has emerged as a game-changer, empowering
individuals to actively participate in shaping the telecom
landscape. It brings together the collective experiences and
insights of millions, helping us understand the real-world
performance of networks and services,” said Vice Chairman and
Secretary General of TRC Jordan, HE. Dr. Adwan. “Through our
collaboration with Ookla, we have witnessed the incredible
potential of crowdsourcing data. This invaluable resource empowers
regulators and service providers to make data-driven decisions,
optimize network performance, and enhance the overall user
experience. By harnessing the collective intelligence of the crowd,
we can create a future where connectivity is faster, more reliable,
and accessible to all.”
Connectivity plays a pivotal role in driving economic
development, fostering competition, and spurring innovation within
the MENA region. As consumers’ reliance on internet services
continues to grow, regulators must stay at the forefront of
technological advancements and industry trends. Ookla’s MENA
Telecommunications Regulatory Summit provided a unique platform for
regulators to exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one
another as they seek to drive the development of the
telecommunications sector in the region.
“At Ookla, we serve as the bridge between consumers and the
industry, a charter we share with many regulators,” said Ookla
Co-Founder and CEO Doug Suttles. “Our MENA Regulatory Summit has
brought together key decision-makers in the region to foster a
deeper understanding of the current challenges and opportunities in
an ever-evolving connectivity landscape. Ookla expresses its
gratitude to TRC Jordan for co-hosting the event and extends its
appreciation to all the participating regulators, industry leaders,
and attendees for their valuable contributions. We firmly believe
that collaboration between regulators and industry stakeholders is
key to realizing the full potential of connectivity.”
