ACIF sets up convergence group to push self regulation

IT Policy - Regulation

The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) has set up Convergence Group to advise on the best way to tackle issues relating to VoIP, next generation networks (NGN), content and other associated areas. The group's emphasis will be on "developing outcomes tailored to the specific issues" but it will not be responsible for implementing the recommended solutions, which ACIF says "could involve the production of fact sheets, holding of forums, development of codes or standards etc."

ACIF's aim is to forestall the imposition of regulation on future technologies and services by developing self-regulatory solutions backed by the collaboration and commitment of all sectors of the industry. "The ACIF Convergence Group will offer the opportunity for a broad cross-section of interested parties to sit down together and come up with some practical solutions without the need for government intervention," said ACIF CEO, Anne Hurley, who will chair the group. The full list of members is available here.
