The latter category is open for submissions until May 10th, and the winner will be selected by a panel of industry experts. Under the theme “New rules for a user-centric digital ecosystem,” the 11th edition of the CLTD will urge action to ensure the sustainable development of telecommunications networks and put the user at the centre of the digital ecosystem. Leaders from the public and private sectors throughout the region will discuss universal access to mobile connectivity, productive use of ICTs, investment sustainability, efficient use of telecommunications networks, future spectrum policy, and digital transformation.
