This chapter addresses all aspects and considerations related to developing a universal access and service (UAS) policy. It is intended as a practical guide to the various steps that need to be taken in the process of policy formulation.
It covers three main themes of UAS policy formulation and implementation:
- The framework, context & institutional considerations of UAS policy, including its relationship to broadband policy is discussed in Section 4.1;
- The UAS policy development process, including consultation, finance and economic analysis which is described in Section 4.2; and
- Legal and regulatory modifications that are likely required for UAS policy implementation are discussed in Section 4.3.
The chapter provides an overview of the various considerations, steps and analyses that go into developing a UAS policy. Chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this Module discuss most of the issues in more depth and also provide greater insight on how to implement a UAS policy.
