Asunción, Agencia IP.- In a new edition of Tribuna, broadcast by Paraguay TV, one of the most significant events in the telecommunications sector was discussed. This event, set to take place next week in Paraguay, will bring together international experts and representatives. The National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) will organize the event from March 31 to April 2 as part of the World Telecommunication Development Conference for the Americas Region.

During the discussion, engineer Víctor Martínez, a board member of CONATEL, highlighted Paraguay’s role as the host of this high-profile event. «Next week, Asunción will become the global epicenter of telecommunications. We will welcome delegates from over 30 countries across the Americas, along with observers from around the world,» Martínez explained.

The scheduled events include the Telecommunication Development Forum and various preparatory meetings for the World Telecommunication Conference, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Inter-American Telecommunications Commission (CITEL), advisory bodies to the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States (OAS), respectively.

A key topic in these forums will be the development of new technologies and connectivity in the Americas. According to lawyer Ángel González, head of CONATEL’s International Relations Department, Paraguay has made significant progress in mobile internet access, reaching about 95% of the population. However, fixed internet access remains a challenge, mainly through fiber optics.
