A plethora of key issues and challenges relating to the theme of the symposium on the idea of inclusivity and implications of digital communications in the society will be presented and discussed, taking into consideration the research work funded by MCMC and conducted in collaboration with local universities to understand gaps and towards achieving a clarity that will better prepare regulatory and policy approaches to achieve these aspirations.
