Regulators within APAC continue to utilize
Ookla's network insights and crowdsourced data to help to address
the digital divide in the Asia-Pacific region.
Ookla®, an internationally recognized leader in network
measurement and connectivity intelligence, concluded its first
Telecommunications Regulatory Summit for the Asia-Pacific region
last week in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The summit brought together
over 40 regulatory representatives from more than 10 countries
across the Asia-Pacific region. The event served as a valuable
platform for policymakers to share best practices in regulatory
planning and oversight, as well as how they’re leveraging Ookla’s
connectivity insights to help address the digital divide through
broadband network improvements in their respective markets.
From effective spectrum management to increasing the
availability of broadband through fixed wireless access (FWA),
representatives from regulatory bodies throughout the region shared
how they are closing the digital divide, supporting consumer
protection, and increasing competition within their markets.
Central to most of these efforts is a clear understanding of
existing network performance, quality, and availability — and how
Ookla’s crowdsourced network insights assist regulators in
evaluating and improving connectivity.
“It is important to make informed decisions, drive tangible
improvements, and revolutionize our approach to strengthen internet
connectivity in the country,” said Mr. Sam Majid, CTIO of Malaysian
Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). “Crowdsourced data
has become critical for us to understand where the demand for
connectivity is, where we need to improve, and where we need to
deploy. These insights help us manage regulatory policy to address
the digital divide, support consumer protections, and increase
competition within the market.”
Broad public access to reliable high-speed internet access is a
requirement for economic growth, innovation, and social
development. By bringing together regulators from across the
region, the summit aimed to facilitate a collaborative exchange of
ideas focused on leveraging network intelligence to help improve
connected experiences for all.
"As a trusted industry leader, Ookla is honored to host this
event encouraging collaboration and enabling regulators to share
best practices," said Stephen Bye, President and CEO of Ookla, a
division of Ziff Davis. “We recognize the critical role that
regulators play in shaping the future of connectivity. This summit
underscores Ookla's dedication to helping different countries close
the digital divide. We are committed to working with regulators to
create a more connected and digitally inclusive community."
The inaugural APAC Regulatory Summit marks another step in
Ookla's journey to help drive meaningful improvements in broadband
connectivity for users across the globe.
