President signs decrees to reform regulator

The Ukrainian president, Victor Yanukovych, has signed two decrees permitting the restructuring of the country’s telecoms regulator, the National Commission on Communications Regulation (NCCR, or locally the NKRZ). Telecompaper quoting BizLigaNet writes that the first decree allows the liquidation of the regulator in its current form while the second document clears the way for the establishment of a restructured regulator with a wider remit encompassing telecoms and IT.
