Pace and volume of regulation are increasing

the period from 2007 to 2015, ICT regulation is characterized both by the volume of change and the increasing pace at which it is being adopted. In this context there is much that is positive and extremely encouraging. No fewer than 52 regulators are now in the G4 category. Fifty-five per cent of countries have moved one generation up the ICT ladder of regulation while 15 per cent have leaped generations in only nine years. In addition, there are some surprises in the list of countries ranking as the most dynamic, making major leaps forward in a short period of time. Extraordinarily, one country has leapfrogged from G1 directly to G4. Such developments are welcome and timely for those markets in need of guidance and safe passage through the stormy growth of the ICT sector.
