#ITU #МСЭ GSR-18 BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINES ON NEW #REGULATORY FRONTIERS TO ACHIEVE #DIGITAL #TRANSFORMATION https://www.itu.int/net4/ITU-D/CDS/GSR/2018/documents/Guidelines/GSR-18_BPG_Final-E.PDF
III. Policy and regulatory approaches for continued innovation
and progress
We believe that clear consideration is needed to ensure that the
policy and regulatory approaches adopted are not a barrier to future
innovation and progress while protecting consumers and extending
connectivity to those who remain unconnected. To this end, we the
regulators participating in the 2018 Global Symposium for Regulators,
believe that we need to:
• consider putting in place innovative, out-of-the-box measures such
as:
» regulatory sandboxes for enterprises wishing to test an emerging
technology or innovative service without being bound by all the
regulations that would normally apply;
» “start-up and experiment” interfaces to support start-ups,
enterprises and communities in their experimental initiatives;
» 5G pilot projects to obtain initial feedback and facilitate reflection
and design of future spectrum allocations while stimulating the
take-up of services, building specific use cases and assessing
future challenges related to emerging technologies under real-life
conditions;promote further public participation and consultation in the
regulatory process through regulation by data, that is based on
information and observations of digital stakeholders and users,
providing citizens and stakeholders with the most detailed and
transparent information, and allowing consultation and participation
in the regulatory decision-making process to complement the
regulator’s traditional tools;
• establish effective mechanisms for cooperation across the sectors
to promote the development of cross-cutting services such as
e-commerce, e-banking, and e-health, including with consumer
protection authorities, service providers and other relevant bodies at
the national, regional and international levels;
• consider, as appropriate and within our mandate, the necessary
frameworks to ensure privacy and security of government, business
and consumer data so that stakeholders are adequately informed
about potential security and privacy challenges they may face with
online services, and have access to timely and accurate information
regarding the services and applications they use (including reliability,
speed, quality of service and data traffic management).
