Join us as we discuss the ‘International trends in Network usage fees‘ in our virtual discussion on October 4.
We’ve confirmed over 100+ attendees and a stellar speaker line-up.
Responses to a recent consultation by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India have made certain assertions about the developments in South Korea and a regulatory consultation on network usage fees discussions in Europe. We’re hosting this discussion to help understand what exactly is going on globally and why, and address key assertions regarding the global situation, made by some Indian stakeholders.
MediaNama discussions, virtually or otherwise, involve participation from attendees, and we’d love to take your questions during the discussion.
