About Public Policy

The GSMA has a pivotal role to play in the development of public policy relating to the mobile industry and its customers. The GSMA’s public policy team proactively leads the policy debate, represents the mobile industry to governments and regulators, and delivers a regulatory environment that maximises development opportunities for mobile operators and long-term benefit for mobile users.

As the mobile industry continues to grow, policy development challenges arise regionally and internationally. These challenges frequently highlight the need to develop a better understanding among governments of the role and operating model of private enterprise in a modern, globalised society. Through programmes of engagement with governments, and direct market interventions, we help to shape the global regulatory agenda.
