Regulatory Authority

How do you know if a communications provider has complied with all its regulatory obligations? There is often reliance on the business to monitor themselves, and then to transparently report any non-compliances. Using independent test equipment which interfaces directly with the network makes it possible for national authorities to independently verify the state of compliance.

Many countries use independent testing to prevent the leakage of tax revenues. For example, SIM boxes are used by fraudsters to bypass international termination fees. Tracking interconnect bypass is the prime method of mitigating SIM box fraud and collecting all the tax that is owed. There is also an increasing variety of frauds as criminals seek to circumvent newer taxes for internet and over-the-top services.
