The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with eco - the Association of the German Internet Industry, the largest association of its kind, with the aim of exchanging information in relation to the usage of the Internet and developments in the German and UAE markets. The MoU comes at an important time in the development of the Internet market, as regulators and industry bodies increasingly face the challenges of promoting the growth of innovative Internet services while continuing to ensure safe and effective online usage. Founded in 1995 and representing more than 400 Internet companies eco has proven to be a well-experienced partner to support the development process of the Internet industry and its participants in Germany and also Europe - especially regarding topics like infrastructure and technology, content, applications, as well as legal and regulatory matters. Harald A. Summa, CEO of eco Association, commented "The growing importance of the Internet industry for the global economy clearly needs co-operation on a global level. We are excited to co-operate and exchange experiences with the TRA." Mohamed Nasser al Ghanim, the Director General of the TRA, added "The German Internet market is one of the biggest in Europe and the way in which it has grown over the last few years is an excellent example of a successful partnership between the Industry and other Stakeholders. Meanwhile the UAE market has also developed very quickly over the past few years. With this in mind I am delighted to sign this MoU which will open doors for further co-operation between the UAE and Germany so we can benefit from each other’s experience." |
