SEATTLE, July 18 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — 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.
