I participated in the launch event of the World Bank report entitled ‘Broadband Networks in the Middle East and North Africa – Accelerating High-Speed Internet Access’ hosted in Abu Dhabi by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). The report launch at the TRA’s Abu Dhabi headquarters in the morning and was followed by a policy presentation and panel discussion in the afternoon.
The TRA Director General opened proceedings and took his place on the discussion panel to assess the
findings of the report and the implications for the region – particularly in the United Arab Emirates. Other panelists included Khalifa Alforah, Chief Digital Services Officer at Etisalat; Tariq Albahri, Vice President of Regulatory & External Affairs at du; and Fadi Salem, the Director of the Governance and Innovation Program, and Fellow, at the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government.
