The dialogue will be centered around challenges SMMEs face in connecting the unconnected, particularly in rural and underserved regions.

@stevesong @fallmakhtar Good point. Bringing towercos within the regulatory ambit has many advantages for: facilities leasing & infrastructure sharing, rapid infrastructure deployment, UAS requirements and levies, promotion of competition, to name a few...

@stevesong For starters, our mandate doesn't cover platform providers, social media, OTTs. We'd have to assess whether 'free bundles' is anti-competitive in the *telco* space. But the real problem is lack of interoperability between platforms which creates a natural drive towards monopoly.
