In the region, telecoms regulation is still focussed on overseeing voice (telephony and mobile) communications. Internet (ICT) regulation is still a new area; the rules and best practice are still being developed. Additionally, depending on the country, content or broadcast services often do not fall under the remit of the telecoms regulator, which means that a TPO could be subject to two or more regulatory frameworks.<\/p>\n
Further, telecoms regulation in the region is still skewed towards regulating incumbents, or those that are determined to possess significant market power for specific services. Many TPOs tend to be newer entrants to the telecoms market, usually expanding their operations from broadcast\/cable TV services. They often are not subject to considerable oversight, and tend to be focussed on increasing their service coverage in order to compete more directly with other voice and Internet operators in the sector.<\/p>\n
