The Geneva-based U.N. agency said that there are "benefits of worldwide standards for all players in the (Internet Protocol television) value chain" that requires global standardization "to avoid market fragmentation." "Standards are necessary in order to give service providers, whether traditional broadcasters, ISPs or telecommunication service providers, control over their platforms and their offerings. Standards here will encourage innovation, help mask the complexity of services, guarantee quality of service, ensure interoperability and ultimately help players remain competitive," the ITU said in a news release. The first meeting on the issue will be held in June. © Copyright 2006 United Press International, Inc New Services Nawras pilots 3G services in Oman- April 16, 2006 MUSCAT — Nawras, the Omani-Qatari Telecommunications Company SAOC, has announced that it has successfully activated 3G (third generation) mobile services in its network in the Sultanate. 3G will be showcased at the upcoming Comex 2006. The third generation mobile services are being rolled out globally with a promise to customers of higher speeds for mobile broadband and enhanced services such as video calls. As part of winning the licence for the second mobile operator in Oman in 2004, Nawras was awarded a licence to operate existing GSM services as well as future 3G services. As the first licensed operator in the Sultanate to activate 3G services, Nawras will be responsible for bringing the next phase of mobile broadband communication to Oman over the next few years. Following the first 3G video call in Oman in December 2005, Nawras has expanded its 3G network to cover selected areas in main cities of Muscat, Salalah, Sur, Nizwa and Sohar. Nawras is currently trialling 3G with selected number of customers in the Muscat area. Customers are able to make and receive video calls and browse the Internet at high speed. Later on, Nawras will gradually roll out services to more customers. At the upcoming Comex event, all visitors will be able to try 3G for themselves making video calls and going forward a similar possibility will be available in Nawras stores. © Business Research-STC - 4 - www.stc.com.sa Sunday, April 23, 2006 TELECOM NEWS Abdulla bin Issa Al Rawahy, Nawras chief technical adviser and one of the most experienced telecommunications executives in Oman, commented: “I am extremely proud that Oman is one of the first countries in the Middle East to have activated 3G services. This has really brought the Sultanate of Oman into the forefront in delivering the latest mobile business solution technology. We have many visitors from other neighbouring countries who are very interested in learning from the experience Nawras have gained the last year”. “Both Nawras employees and our network partner Ericsson have been working extremely hard to implement 3G services in the network to meet our licence commitments,” Al Rawahy added. The introduction of 3G will further strengthen Nawras position as the clear leader in the local mobile broadband market. Nawras is already the only mobile operator to offer mobile broadband services to all its customers based on the EDGE technology. Anders Blauenfeldt, Nawras director of business development, commented on the topic: “Attractive customer propositions in the area of mobile broadband are likely to be based around providing basic broadband Internet services in a customer-friendly and reliable way. The customer experience offered by ADSL has stimulated people’s interest and demand for access to broadband Internet.

Financial exclusion has become a major policy concern. Many initiatives exist under the auspices of different government departments and statutory bodies. Policies between the devolved administrations also diverge. In addition, the voluntary and private sectors are crucial to providing services to fi nancially excluded groups. This study aimed to: • identify and evaluate research on forms of fi nancial exclusion; • create a database of current work across the UK aimed at those vulnerable to fi nancial exclusion; • appraise relevant policy initiatives, identifying those vulnerable groups left out of current initiatives, either entirely or partly; • assess which groups are likely to remain excluded and how policy-makers and practitioners can address their needs.
