The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been established according to the UAE Federal Law by Decree No. 3 of 2003 - Telecom Law, where, as portrayed by the TRA Director General, H.E. Mohamed Al Ghanim, "immediately after its establishment, the TRA was faced with the twin challenges of organization building and formulating a regulating framework to enable competition to commence in the UAE ." The TRA finalized the licensing of the two telecommunication operators of the UAE, Etisalat & Du, where the new operator Du has been activated on 12 February 2007, after around three decades of telecommunication monopoly in the country. Since then, however, the TRA has surpassed expectations by achieving its goals in record time. The TRA has become an active member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) of the United Nations and has chaired its 7th Global Symposium for Regulators that the TRA hosted from 5 - 7 February 2007, at Dubai World Trade Center in the UAE; and it has become the President of the Arab Telecommunications Authorities Union for the year 2007. The organizational objectives of the TRA are derived from the Telecommunications Law and the eCommerce Law, its Executive Order and the National Telecommunications Policy. These objects may be summarized as ensuring adequacy of telecommunications services throughout the UAE; achieving enhancement of services, both in terms of quality and variety; ensuring quality of service and adherence to terms of licenses by licensees; encouraging telecommunications and IT services within the UAE; promoting and enhancing the telecommunications sector within the UAE; promoting and developing the telecommunications sector in the UAE by training, development and the establishment of relevant training institutions; resolving any disputes between the licensed operators; establishing and implementing a regulatory and policy framework; promoting new technologies; ensuring that the UAE becomes the regional ICT hub; developing the country's human capital; and encouraging research and development. .....more
