The workshop is supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication (MIC), Japan. 

The SATRC Workshop on “IP Based Network Services and Network Security” is a part of the implementation of SATRC Action plan Phase II which was developed at the 9th SATRC meeting in 2007 and revised at the 10th SATRC meeting in 2008. The workshop will discuss a number of issues related to IP based services, VoIP and network security. It will assist the Regulatory bodies of the SATRC member countries in their human resource development needs for acquiring knowledge and skills in regulatory and implementation matters. It will provide an excellent opportunity to exchange views and experiences among the SATRC member country’s regulators and operators on the issues as mentioned.
