Telecommunications regulatory frameworks

Telecommunications regulatory frameworks are rules and policies set by governments or authorities to manage and oversee how communication services like phone, internet, and broadcasting operate. They ensure fair competition, protect consumers, allocate spectrum (wireless signals), and promote infrastructure development. These frameworks establish licensing procedures, set service standards, and enforce lawful use of networks, balancing industry growth with public interest. Overall, they create a structured environment that encourages innovation, ensures reliable service, and prevents abuse or monopolistic practices in the communication sector.
