 Currently, Lao PDR’s telecommunications and ICT sector is
 regulated by the Law on Telecommunications 2001.
In addition, the Decree on Trade Competition and the Decree on
 Organization and Operation of National Authority of Post and
 Telecommunications (NAPT) are also applicable.
 To provide effective governance and supervision of the
 telecommunications and ICT sector given global
 developments in telecommunications and ICT technologies and
 policies.
  A new draft Law on Telecommunications and the ICT has
 been developed which will replace the old legislation with a
 modern regulatory framework which recognises technology
 convergence, and consistent with global and regional
 standards.
 The draft new Law on Telecommunications and ICT has passed
 the internal approval and will submit to the National Assembly
 conference for adoption in March 2011.
