The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is hosting a Global Symposium for Regulators (GSR) next month to bring together heads of national regulatory authorities from both developed and developing countries to achieve consensus on the best ways to address the challenges of convergence and to achieve the shared goal of affordable access. To this end, the regulators are expected to issue a statement of "Best Practice Guidelines for the Promotion of Low Cost Broadband and Internet Connectivity". The event will be held in Geneva, Switzerland. http://www.itu.int/
