ITU, ICT Regulation Toolkit (full-text).

Overview
The Toolkit is a live resource for policy makers, regulators, the telecom industry, and consumers. It provides a global overview of how telecom policy is best implemented with practical materials highlighting experience and results.

The Toolkit is intended to assist regulators with the design of effective and enabling regulatory frameworks to harness the latest technological and market advances. Its most prevalent themes are the impact of changing technology, the role of competition, and the regulatory implications of the transition from traditional telephony to next generation networks (NGNs).

Each module offers both a summary and a more detailed overview of its respective topic with links to hundreds of practice notes and reference documents drawn from global experience.

The Toolkit Modules are:


 * Regulating the Telecommunications Sector: Overview
