One of the aims of telecommunications policy and legislation should be to ensure
that the public has access to basic telecommunications services at a reasonable
cost. The goal should ultimately be universal access or widespread access to
reliable information and communication services at a reasonable cost and its availability
at a reasonable distance.
To enhance the quality of telecommunications services, policies should encourage:
● open access, which refers to the absence of non-competitive practices by
network providers;
● open architecture, which pertains to the design of a system that facilitates
interconnection among different systems and services currently and as they
develop over time; and
● flexible access, which pertains to interconnected and interoperable networks
of telecommunications, broadcasting, and electronic publishing, where the format
will be digital and the bandwidth will be adjusted according to the demands
of the user and the character of communications
