The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) serves as the independent regulatory body for the telecommunications sector in Qatar. Recognizing the importance of informed and balanced decision-making, the CRA is committed to ensuring that its regulatory actions are grounded in evidence and reflect the perspectives of all stakeholders, including individuals and organizations affected by its work.

Purpose and Approach

To promote transparency, efficiency, and regulatory effectiveness within the telecommunications sector, the CRA employs public consultations as a core component of its regulatory process. These consultations provide an opportunity for both the public and industry participants to share their views on issues that may impact them, ensuring that diverse voices contribute to the regulatory framework

Consultation Process

Public consultations are conducted periodically whenever the CRA is developing new regulations, policies, or guidelines. Through this process, the CRA aims to enhance the quality of its decisions by drawing on the expertise, insights, and experiences of those most directly affected by regulatory changes. This collaborative approach also allows the CRA to weigh competing interests and identify any unintended consequences or practical challenges before finalizing its positions on regulatory matters.
