We greatly appreciate the accorded hosting privilege, and it reasserts our shared collective values, priorities, and purpose of reaping the very essence of being part of international bodies like the ITU. On behalf of the Gambian populace and the Government of the Gambia, the Banjul meeting will set the pace in fostering unified standards that would address QoS and QoE matters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The convergence, he added, is also aimed at encouraging African countries to proactively promote the development of ITU-T recommendations and increase their participation in the quality-of-service development group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEqually important, it would dissect the eminent QoS challenges faced by operators, regulators, and other players, particularly in the African continent and propose smart means of tackling the identified challenges. The meeting will also feature a roundtable discussion on the status of quality-of-service, quality of experience challenges and future opportunities in the industry,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
