The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development launched a program
of training and support of the Ministry of Communications and
Information Technologies of Azerbaijan, head of Ministry regulation
department Aliyar Tamirov said.
According to him, the program of training and support, which launched
today, envisages technical education in the field of telecommunications
regulation.
The project will cooperate with MCIT to deal with the challenges of
improving market conditions for investors and providing more consumer
choice and protection under fully competitive market conditions. The
training programme will explain how regulators in other countries have
made important changes. The project will bring to Azerbaijan a team of
experts with significant policy, regulatory and operational experience.
The training programme commences on Nov. 8, 2010 at MCIT's offices in Baku. The work to create in Azerbaijan an independent regulator on the market
of information and communication technologies will be implemented over
the next two years.
The organizations such as the ITU (International telecommunication
Union), the World Trade Organization and the World Bank concurred that
the independence of regulators of the communications industry from the
state has an important value in the telecommunications development.
