What are the results of a full year of working and learning from home?
For some of my friends, it’s been improved cooking skills thanks to online tutorials, gaining new proficiency with digital technologies or simply spending more time with immediate family. For me, it’s been a little bit of the above together with a desktop full of online webinar backgrounds from the many great programmes and initiatives hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and partners throughout the year.
One thing is for sure: none of this would have been possible without the swift and effective work of global information and communication technology (ICT) regulators. When the pandemic broke out last year, I worked with many of them directly through ITU’s #REG4COVID platform to ensure global resiliency and keep networks operational despite the sudden surge in demand.

Crossing borders 15 April 2021
Earlier this year, changes to Germany’s VEMAGS online permit system came into effect. Could these changes hinder international competition? Sotiris Kanaris talks to ESTA Director Ton Klijn.
Despite most countries being part of the same Union, cross-border heavy transport in Europe is complex. This is because abnormal load transport regulation is decided by each national government, and there is a lack of coordination between them.
“The result is a plethora of rules, all set up and executed in national languages,” says Ton Klijn, director of the European mobile crane and special transport association ESTA.
The European directive 96/53 concerned with the harmonisation of road regulations just specifies the sizes and weights vehicles have to comply with. Anything exceeding that is left to national governments to regulate.
