Industry Landscape
Innovation in the global communications, ICT and mobile industry has brought connectivity to more people than ever before. For example, there are now 5.4 billion unique mobile subscribers around the world. But communications technology enables much more than connectivity - it empowers people through an ever-growing range of internet and mobile-enabled services. This trend is also accelerating the convergence of communications and content.
As a result, industry stakeholders across the globe have had to adjust to new challenges, business opportunities and threats. This means policy, regulations, codes of conduct, industry specifications and standards need to be revisited, enhanced or tweaked to better reflect these rapid changes. There is also the need for the skills sets, competencies and knowledge resource of industry stake- holders and practitioners to be refreshed in order to keep pace with these incessant changes. This is the driver behind the Converged Telecommunications Policy & Regulations (CTPR) Master Class. This collaborative effort from the Multimedia University (MMU), GSMA and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is crafted to address the capacity needs of the globalised and converged communications, ICT and mobile industry.
About the CTPR Master Class
The CTPR Master Class stands out as an exceptional program tailored for mid- to senior-level executives across various sectors including national regulatory agencies, government ministries, telecommunication service providers, broadcasters, equipment manufacturers/vendors, and academia. It offers a comprehensive and current perspective on all facets of the converged telecommunications landscape, providing participants with a holistic understanding of the industry.
This intensive, one-week programme will bring together an international, collaborative network of academics, regulators and industry experts to highlight current global approaches to CTPR issues. Participants will be awarded a Certificate that is endorsed by MMU, GSMA and MCMC.
CTPR Masterclass is a series of Masterclasses for the ASEAN and Asia-Pacific regions. It is tailored for and is aimed at empowering pivotal players in the Communications and Multimedia sectors with the insight needed to navigate swiftly changing technological advancements, industry shifts, and regulatory landscapes. This is crucial for tackling the myriad challenges, threats, and opportunities stemming from the convergence and intertwining of communications, multimedia, and content for both ASEAN nations and across the broader region of Asia-Pacific.
The first CTPR was officially launched in Putrajaya, Malaysia in 2015. In 2016, the CTPR Master Class ASEAN was held in Bandung, Indonesia in collaboration with Telkom University. It was the first of its kind in the ASEAN and the Asia Pacific. The 201 7 CTPR Master Class for ASEAN countries was hosted in Bangkok, in collaboration with Chulalongkorn University and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission of Thailand.
