The consultation, held at the RLJ Resort in Paynesville, provided a platform for stakeholders to examine the draft regulations, raise concerns, and make recommendations on the deployment, sharing, management, and decommissioning of telecommunications infrastructure across Liberia.

Speaking at the forum, LTA Licensing and Regulation Commissioner Ben A. Fofana emphasized the importance of stakeholder participation in developing effective regulations that reflect the realities of the telecommunications industry.

He highlighted the need for collaboration between the LTA and service providers, noting that industry expertise and practical experience are essential to strengthening the proposed regulatory framework.
