Rohan Samarajiva is founding Chair of LIRNEasia, an Asian infrastructure policy and regulation think tank. Since 2004, LIRNEasia has been working to improve telecom policy and regulation in the developing Asia Pacific region through research, capacity building and advocacy. Myanmar, which went from 10 to 80 mobile connections per 100 people in less than two years, is the current focus of this work.
Professor Samarajiva served as Sri Lanka’s telecom regulator and also as a founder member of the ICT Agency of Sri Lanka. He was Associate Professor of Communication and Public Policy at the Ohio State University in the US and Visiting Professor of Economics of Infrastructure at TU Delft in the Netherlands.
We give innovators and regulators a forum in which to explore, debate and agree the best policies and regulatory frameworks for widest societal benefit.
