Local media reports suggest the Regulator has undertaken the exercise in recognition of the general move by consumers towards non-voice services. The idea is to evaluate performance and user experience.
Statistics reported in the media state that for the year ending June 2013, the use of texts increased by 208% to 13 billion messages, whilst internet subscriptions grew to 12,9 million.
The consultant who is chosen to form part of the initiative will be expected to come up with a framework and methodology to be applied to QoS measurements. This will also cover inspection of communications licensees and ICT installations.
