The 47th meeting of APEC’s Telecommunications Working Group was held from 22 to 27 April 2013 in Bali, Indonesia. INTUG representatives organized its round table discussion, which focused on mobile payments.

Last week INTUG sent an open letter to EC Vice President Kroes, the EU Mission in Washington DC and the US Trade Representative, regarding disparities between regulations for non-discriminatory access to communications services on both sides of the Atlantic.

In view of the implementation of the new decoupling rules on public mobile communications networks within the EU, which should bring more competition to the international roaming market after July 2014, INTUG was asked to summarize the end user requirements for corporate customers.
