An Expert Forum on ICT Sector Indicators and Benchmark Regulation for South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Regulatory Authorities is being organized by LIRNEasia, CONNECTasia FORUM and the International Development Research Centre of Canada (IDRC), 14-15 June 2008, Changi Village Hotel, Singapore. The focus of the Expert Forum is on using specific indicators to benchmark performance of the sector as well as the regulatory authority, and using indicator data to improve the performance of both. The latest results from LIRNEasia’s Asian Regulatory Web-site Survey, the Mobile and Broadband Price Benchmarks research and the Broadband Quality of Service Measurement research will be presented at the forum, and will set the background for broader discussion on benchmark regulation. The Asian ICT Indicators Database, developed by LIRNEasia funded by IDRC, will be introduced and hands-on training on using the database will be provided.
