The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) actively participated in the recent ITU Global Symposium for Regulators (ITU GSR-23) under the guidance of Director General Philip Marnick. During the symposium, Bahrain's remarkable advancements in the field of telecommunications were highlighted, showcasing its prominent position.
Parallel to the ITU GSR-23 event, a significant milestone was achieved as the TRA and the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) came together to establish a formalized relationship through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and TRA Director General Philip Marnick.
The MoU stands to enhance coordination and collaboration between the TRA and the FCC, facilitating meaningful discussions and the exchange of best practices on various vital matters. These include, but are not limited to, 5G technology, spectrum licensing, broadband deployment, accessible and inclusive communications, robocalls and the establishment of secure networks.
