Developments regarding telecommunication network architectures and services” in Kampala, Uganda, on April 2, 2012. The event was hosted by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC). This workshop was intended to bridge the standardization gap between developing and developed countries, aiming to increase awareness among participants from countries which usually do not participate in SG13 meetings. The workshop brought together 27 participants representing operators (primarily) based in East and Central Africa, regulators, standardization bodies, network equipment manufacturers, and academia. SESERV's efforts in developing tussle analysis as a means to support and assess the socio-economic aware design of future network technology are brought into SG13's standardization activities by the University of Zurich (coordinator of SESERV, academic member of the ITU). Work on the according draft Recommendation Y.FNsocioeconomic is ongoing. Martin Waldburger participated in this workshop to give an outline of tussle analysis and the specific work in Y.FNsocioeconomic.
With the outlined workshop theme and objective in mind, the event was structured into three sessions.
