Like telecommunications reformers
elsewhere, Arab countries have set up independent regulatory
authorities to make objective, consistent, and non-arbitrary
regulatory decisions. This is a major step forward and is
already delivering positive results for consumers in the
form of new and better telecommunications services. Still,
some governments seem reluctant to hand over the regulatory
role, limiting the effectiveness of sector regulation and
the agencies formed to implement it. One way forward is
through benchmarking-to help policymakers and potential
investors assess regulatory performance and prioritize
efforts to strengthen it. |
